Exciting things happening at Kindred! - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Kindred AI

The team is great, a lot of talent and hardworking people

Not too much – things definitely change quickly per normal startup culture

The work is a fun challenge: scale automation solutions that are smarter than the competition's. We're often making "firsts" in the industry and you get to see your work unfold rapidly. You just implemented something, you blink, and there's a (large) fleet out there with your work in it. We have huge opportunities knocking on our door, there's little concern about "being able to make it," we just have to keep delivering like we have been. I feel empowered to effect change, voice concerns, etc and action is taken to course correct or otherwise find common ground. Sometimes Kindred years feel like dog years, 7:1 ratio. There's so much in flight, so many moving parts, as we're often working to be "first to market" and that means we have to move quick. I joined Kindred first and foremost because of the people, and I'm still here because of them.

We've had growing pains and periods of attrition, but it hasn't impacted the experience much somehow. We've had to make hard decisions, cancel projects, redirect all of engineering, etc. This can feel a bit like a rollercoaster sometimes, but at least it's fun, and I'd rather have a leadership team willing to make the hard decision than fail on status quo. On call for the product, the flipside though is this encourages continuous improvement and learning from our mistakes.
