Pros

The people use to be the heart of the company but an ego filled CEO makes the culture and product so toxic.

Cons

One word CEO! His ego and ignorance are as big as the moon. The people walk on eggshells daily to avoid his abusiveness tendencies. He does not care about anyone but himself. The leadership team is completely useless because they hear the constant complaints but don't do anything but stroke his ego. Oh and another thing over 30+ people have left within a year???! This is a huge red flag.

Not a Healthy Place to Work

Pros

Travel to London was nice

Cons

CEO loves to micromanage every aspect of the company then complain about how much harder he works than everyone else. The lack of tenured tech employees with true startup building experience is what has driven it into the ground. I wouldn't wish Kalo on my worse enemy

Pros

Great market fit, attention of some big brands, product getting better

Cons

We have had close to 30 people leave over the last few months including big executives that had plenty of experience to make Kalo a great place to work. Unfortunately, top down doesn't get how to treat employees and the value of being genuine or authentic. Truly a bummer because everyone is leaving and will continue to.

Since this review, our CEO has built out a seasoned leadership team, including our CTO (ex-SuccessFactors/SAP), VP Product (ex-LinkedIn/Wealthfront), and COO (ex-realtor.com/Barclays).
