Pros
Kitopi is not your typical 9-5 corporate job. If you're looking for a conventional role, this isn’t the place for you. However, if you’re eager to push yourself to the limit, and work with some of the brightest minds in the industry, Kitopi is a great fit. Here are some benefits: / highly talented colleagues: Kitopi tends to hire highly talented, hard-working overachievers - if you don't like to push yourself, this is not for you / challenging impact and growth focused atmosphere: day to day work is intense and always pushes you to grow and develop skills beyond your comfort zone / little corporate politics and a clear no-jerks-allowed policy: the company maintains a strong no-jerk policy, with minimal corporate politics and a very flat structure allowing everyone to engage directly with leadership, including the CEO. / fun office culture and atmosphere: The office is very lively, informal and fun - lots of us have made some of our best friends here, making it a great place to work
Kontras
While the environment is fun there are natural challenges to consider that come with this intensity: / high pressure: the fast-paced nature of the business can lead to significant pressure, which may not be suitable for everyone / work-life Balance: not only the hours put, but the intensity that one has to put to perform means that maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be challenging, particularly given the demands of the job / gender balance in leadership: while there is a clear noticeable open focus on improving the balance between women and men in leadership roles, the demanding nature of the org makes it difficult for many to balance these responsibilities with family life / high salaries: Kitopi is not known for being the highest-paying organization in F&B; most people join and stay long because they want to challenge themselves and are driven to excel, not because of the pay
