Pros

"Work hard. Have Fun. Make history." is an Amazon tag line, but it definitely rings true at Kiva. It’s not often that you get a chance to work on something that is truly changing an industry. Kiva has built a game changing technology and now in partnership with our colleagues at Amazon, we are revolutionizing the on-line order fulfillment business. I guarantee that if you saw this product in action at a massive Amazon fulfillment center you’d be blown away. Amazon fulfillment center associates love our robots! I’ve read the reviews here that talk about Kiva being a tough place to work, and to some extent that has been true. If you’re looking for a country club atmosphere you won’t find it here. But, if you want to work with some of the brightest, most dedicated people around on some of the most cutting edge technology, this is a great place to be. The engineering staff here is top notch and the management team is the best I’ve worked with. We do it all right here in North Reading. Software and hardware. Design, develop, test, manufacture and support. All under one roof. And, we’re still in the early stages of long journey with Amazon. It's a great time to be at Kiva.

Cons

Pace of development and frequency of software releases can be a challenge.

Pros

I have been there three and a half years. I love the culture of the company. Kiva Systems has provided an environment where one can really learn about how to build a company from the ground up. I love the focus on innovation. You are allowed to be your own person and to share your suggestions and ideas. We are experiencing exponential growth and everyone works very hard. If you are not ready to work hard, this may not be the place for you.

Cons

Like with any small company that is growing super fast, there are growth pains associated with scalability. One has to be flexible and willing to adapt quickly-it can be a con but also a great challenge to have.

Pros

They treat SDEs pretty well and the pay is pretty decent. Management really does seem to care about people and not in a fake corporate way. You get to build a lego robot as part of orientation and there is some really cool stuff to see around the office. The office location is pretty good as well, it only takes 20 or so minutes to drive from the Boston-ish area.

Cons

They have some issues with balance of work time with life time. Sometimes things seem a little disorganized and last minute.
