Great technology and people to workk with
|
|
With the emergence of AI, the focus on API also grows multifold. KONG sits with a great market-fit product and it's growing super fast. You get to learn a lot of new stuff and your colleagues are very approachable.
We have an inclusive culture that is transparent and also gives you complete autonomy. You know this is an extremely rare combination to find. but yes, you have it here in Kong.

Nothing at the moment. Everything looks cool.

Grind it Out Culture
|
|
There are some truly wonderful people at Kong and the pay is good.
|
Little to no transparency, inexperienced leaders, lack of career path, and high attrition make for an organization where you don't feel safe at all. The pay is good, but you have to ask yourself if it's worth the mental exhaustion and stress.
There is a culture of "can't you just..." and the executive leaders expect you to grind it out to get things done.

Be open about what's going on. Success is more than just a financial read out. A lot more needs to be done to recognize people for their contributions, and more insight into the strategy would go a long way. Please hire a seasoned CRO to drive alignment and priority so we can stop flailing.

High growth, well managed, and great vision for the future
|
|
Unlike many other late stage companies, Kong has found a way to continue to thrive and grow despite the recent macroeconomic climate.
In addition to growing, Kong has suddenly become really efficient and feels like a well-run business. Unlike a lot of other companies that are just cutting headcount to get efficient, Kong continues to invest in new headcount but has become smart about how it manages costs elsewhere, which I love.
Knowing the space well, the product is best in class by far, and is only going to become more differentiated in the years to come. This will become a massive business over the next 3-5 years. I truly don't see anyone catching up.
|
Some processes are still being put in a place, so things aren't always as seamless as they would be at a big company, but we're getting there.

EMEA Culture and team
|
|
I really enjoy working in this region- successful business results, focus Go to Market teams. Employee friendly. Managers genuinely care for their employees. The culture is constructive and transparent
|
I can not think of - I believe there is so many good talent in the region who can contribute to global processes and roles.

Micro management and terrible management
|
|
Salary, individual contributors are nice and remote. Product is great
|
Before I joined, I was told unlimited PTO and now it’s “flexible PTO” but really it’s 20 days as stated in contract.
Managers micromanage, rude and unprofessional.
It’s supposed to be a remote company but managers often come in and make others also come in weekly.

Stop micromanaging, stop lying about flexible PTO, it’s 20 days, stop pressuring people to come into the office when you state it’s remote company

Great colleagues, poor leadership.
|
|
The team at the company was exceptional, comprising highly intelligent and approachable colleagues who made collaboration seamless and enjoyable. The organization provided a robust array of systems designed to empower and support employees in their roles. Furthermore, the company demonstrated a solid product-market fit, offering ample opportunities for personal and professional growth.
|
The leadership team often communicates a desire for employees with an entrepreneurial spirit, yet they seem resistant to ideas that originate outside of their own circle. There's a noticeable lack of constructive feedback aimed at employee development; instead, there appears to be a tendency to harbor unspoken criticisms that often manifest in unexpected and punitive actions. This contributes to an environment that lacks psychological safety, where employees are frequently caught off-guard during performance reviews. Additionally, there's a notable inconsistency in accountability — while the leadership holds the team to high standards, they themselves often avoid self-improvement and engage in disparaging discussions about their colleagues and subordinates.
