Pros

The people who work at Kafene are all awesome to work with. Especially in the New York office... the culture is great. People are smart, open to new ideas, and collaboration is encouraged. Competitive pay and great benefits. The company cares about employee happiness. There is a good balance of skills and expertise that the leadership team brings to the table -- finance backgrounds and tech backgrounds. It's still a start-up so there are some growing pains with processes and things, but I feel confident the company is moving in the right direction and will continue to grow. The snacks in the office are unmatched.

Cons

If you're in NY, you do need to come in 4 days a week. Not a bad thing, but not as much flexibility with your schedule.

This made our day—thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so glad the culture, collaboration, and team are coming through the way we hope they do. Building a workplace where smart people actually enjoy working together is something we care deeply about, and it’s rewarding to hear that’s your reality. You’re right that we’re still in maturing with some growing pains to work through—we appreciate the patience and the confidence that we’re headed in the right direction. And yes, we take our snack game very seriously. Thanks for being part of what makes Kafene great.
