Vantaggi

Hybrid work. Other than that, not much.

Svantaggi

The product is extremely buggy due to poor engineering decisions and reluctance to modernize the tech stack. To make things worse, they let go of a few folks who knew what they were doing and replaced them with people who just want to get on the AI bandwagon. I worked there for a while and I can confirm that the culture is quite toxic. These folks hire people who have gamed the system. For example, I have literally had a conversation with an engineering manager bragging about how they got away while illegally working as a baby sitter on their student visa. Additionally, from what I have heard from friends still at the company, they have started off-shoring jobs to Mexico for cheaper labor while undercutting American talent. Very dishonest sales tactics. Always over selling non-existing features and expecting the engineering team to deliver on un-realistic timelines. When PMs pushback, they get fired and replaced with "Yes Boss" kinda people. The positive reviews you see on Glassdoor?? FAKE. Like someone said previously, take the positive reviews with a grain of salt. They are definitely written by HR.

Risposta di Kiddom
6d
Before we get into addressing the feedback in this review, we'd like to begin by saying that based on the self reported details about this alleged former employee, we do not believe that they are who they claim to be. Several aspects of the reviewer's stated role, tenure, and description of the organization structure are inconsistent with our internal records. These discrepancies raise questions about the accuracy of the review and suggest that the reviewer either did not work at Kiddom in the capacity described or has not been part of the organization for a considerable period of time. However, since some of the allegations target the integrity and professionalism of members of our team, we believe it is important to address them directly. The suggestion that Kiddom is engaged in "potential fraud" or knowingly employs individuals who are not legally authorized to work in the United States is false. Kiddom works closely with experienced immigration counsel, participates in the E-Verify program, and partners with a professional employer organization (PEO) to help ensure compliance with all employment eligibility verification requirements. We follow established legal processes for all visa-sponsored employees and take our compliance obligations seriously. The example cited in this review relates to alleged conduct that occurred before an individual was employed by Kiddom. Regardless, the review attempts to draw conclusions about Kiddom's hiring practices and raises implications about members of our team. We reject those implications. We also want to address the assertion that Kiddom's positive Glassdoor reviews are "written by HR." That claim is simply not credible and unfairly dismisses the experiences of many current and former employees who have chosen to share positive feedback about their time here. Kiddom has received positive reviews spanning nearly a decade, including many that were posted before our HR function existed. While we understand that not every employee will have a positive experience, it is equally important to recognize that many others have had meaningful and rewarding experiences at Kiddom. Their perspectives deserve the same respect as any critical review. Several of the statements regarding our Product and Engineering teams are difficult to reconcile with the current composition and tenure of the team today. The same is true of several comments regarding our product and tech stack. This further demonstrates that if this reviewer has worked at Kiddom, they have not worked with Kiddom for quite some time. Reasonable people can disagree about business decisions, product strategy, or workplace culture. However, claims regarding legal compliance or the integrity of our employees deserve a factual response.

Vantaggi

The company genuinely seems to value work–life balance, and many of the people I worked with were thoughtful and committed to the mission. Teams care about improving the product, and there is a constant effort to refine processes and user experience. While this sometimes creates friction, it also reflects a desire to keep moving things forward.

Svantaggi

Experiences may vary depending on team and manager. In my case, there were times when performance expectations felt somewhat unclear. Feedback throughout the year suggested progress, but promotion and compensation outcomes did not always align with that feedback. Salary growth and promotion timelines can also feel slow, which may be frustrating for some employees. There were occasionally communication gaps between teams, which sometimes made collaboration or prioritization more difficult. Additionally, the company has experimented with new technologies and tools over time, and guidelines around their use were not always consistent early on.
