Klaviyo

"Always learning" is one of Klaviyo's values, and they really mean it. The most notable example is the book stipend for any book. I also appreciate their support for side hustles and entrepreneurship generally.

The people are great to work with, being professional, ambitious, and collaborative, and the company takes good care of its employees. The business fundamentals are strong, with good cash flow. Klaviyo is still relatively early and has a bright future.

Developing on top of a monolith can be slow and painful - the team is making progress in the right direction, but not fast enough IMO.

It's not clear if I'll be able to keep my job when I eventually move out of Boston. I've lost a manager and many potential referrals because most roles are only available in Boston, which I think is a mistake that unnecessarily limits the talent pool.

Talk more openly and honestly about not just big wins, but losses and controversial decisions. For example, RTO (return-to-office) has big implications which are rarely openly discussed.
