Some serious cultural issues here... - Anonymous employee Kavi Employee Review

There are some serious cultural shortcomings at Kavi, which start at management and work their way down. Favoritism is openly practiced, and there is a systematic tendency starting at the top to apply marketing principles (i.e.: say whatever is convenient at the time, worry about reconciling with the truth if and when necessary later) - not only to customers but to internal staff. Not coincidentally, key members of management having marketing backgrounds. There is zero accountability for unprofessional behavior and poor decisions - which routinely results in unprofessional behavior and poor decisions. The company is run like a high school popularity contest, with the largest (and most problematic) department sticking together like a cheer leading squad, making poor decisions, putting out low quality work, and never getting called out on it because management is scared of losing more of them due to historically high turnover. Management is not technically savvy (including some key members of management who really should be), so decisions often are not made on their technical merits. And since it is a tech company, sadly, the end result is what you would expect. The product is of poor quality and is stuck behind the times. There is a long history of developers working on what they want - unfortunately this doesn't usually align with what the customers need. Customer complaints, bugs, security issues and other reported issues go unresolved literally for years. There are a handful of good people who work here, but usually the good people move on, and people who want to milk an environment with low expectations stay. Meetings routinely end in shouting, and there are far more politics than you'd expect for a company this size.
