Great Company with a Clear Mission — Held Back by a Toxic Minority - Anonymous Kickstarter Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so glad to hear that you find our mission inspiring and that you appreciate our approach to flexibility, leadership, and engineering culture. It means a lot to us that you see the impact we’re making in the industry and enjoy the challenges of working in the creator economy. We appreciate your candid feedback about areas where we can improve. We recognize that the four-day workweek has both benefits and challenges, and we’re continually evaluating how it impacts productivity, team dynamics, and overall effectiveness. Prioritization and communication are ongoing areas of focus for us, and we’ll keep working to ensure teams have the clarity and support they need. We also hear your thoughts on the importance of in-person connection. To help foster collaboration and strengthen relationships across teams, we have monthly co-working days in NYC, which we encourage all team members to attend. We also highly encourage attendance to our annual company wide retreats to maximize in person time with your teammates! Regardless of where anyone sits—whether in management, on a team, or as part of the union—we are committed to fostering a unified, collaborative culture where everyone feels valued and heard. We believe that open dialogue and mutual respect make us stronger, and we’re dedicated to creating an environment where everyone can thrive together. We truly value your contributions and your perspective, and we’re always open to feedback. Please feel free to reach out directly at peopleteam@kickstarter.com so that we can continue improving.
