Great culture, strong people, exciting company - No AI without APIs - Anonymous employee Kong Employee Review

Kong Inc is a great place to work. We're growing and there's always something new to learn and a new project to tackle. The employees are smart, hard working and collaberative. The company culture is fast paced, engergentic and customer focused. We work hard but we also get some nice perks like Kong Unplugged days.

I can't think of any major cons. Most of us are remote so we don't often get the chance to meet in person. We have on a few occassions and it's been a great experience.

The thing that stands out most at Kong is the people. This is genuinely one of the most talented, driven, and collaborative groups I've worked with — and that's not just within my immediate team. Kong has built a truly global team, and the diversity of perspective and experience you get from that is something you can feel in day-to-day work. The product speaks for itself. Kong is solving real, complex problems in the AI connectivity space, and there's a shared sense of purpose around what we're building. It's the kind of place where you actually believe in what you're selling, which makes a big difference. Culture is something a lot of companies talk about but few actually invest in. Kong's COURAGE core values aren't just words on a wall — they come up in real conversations and shape how decisions get made. Leadership is visible, engaged, and genuinely cares about the team.

Like any high-growth tech company, the pace is fast and there's always more work to do than hours in the day. If you thrive in ambiguity and like to move quickly, that's energizing — but it can be a lot if you're looking for a slow and steady environment.
