The outlook for a business that empowers people everywhere to make better job decisions is a great one (in our humble opinion). We fill a need for job seekers to have relevant and genuine company information that links corporate points of view with the opinion of real stakeholders—the people who make a company what it is. We aim to be bold, authentic, and supportive of employees at every level. Refreshing, right?

We're looking for like-minded folks who believe in the power of transparency to build a better worklife for all. Sound lofty? We hope so.
Show us your excellence in three core skills in your field. If you’ve got more great but superheroes usually have very specific powers.
For executive roles, we prefer MBA or advanced degree professionals. In some cases, equivalent work experience counts.
We have strong international roots, but we are leading the way in the US.
We are a team of smart, fun, hard-working people who care about a greater mission: a better workplace for all.
We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of XING, the premier business networking platform in Europe, and have been the market leaders for 10+ years across the pond, which means that we have the freedom and financial support to boldly pursue our goals as we expand in the U.S., while also being able to work fast like any U.S. start-up that's ready to make big moves! The work is challenging, for sure, but we'd want it no other way.
Our company culture is hugely driven by our core values. kununu's company values are:
We are bold - we think big, aim high, and aren't afraid of being different and having fun doing it
We keep an open mind and open company - we're inclusive of ideas, cultures and people, because that's what makes us better
We make ingenious improvements - we are constantly thinking of faster and smarter ways to achieve our goals
We focus on goals and outcomes - we don't just work for work's sake, we strive to ensure that all of our effort turns into outcomes
We give a damn - we're not robots: we truly care about our people, our customers and our community
We value smart, passionate, and talented folks—so much so that we let you do your thing.
We're a casual bunch in jeans and sneakers. A diverse group, we welcome and encourage different perspectives, thoughts, and opinions. Do it with a smile and you're golden.
Learn who we are and what we stand for. Check out our competitors so you know why we're different. Come with ideas and please bring questions. The best candidates are always intellectually curious.
Come as you are, we're not looking to be impressed (if you've been invited to interview, we already are).
Online, definitely. Check the "Jobs" tab on this page for all of our open opportunities!
We usually start with a phone interview to get a sense of interest and fit on both sides. If that goes well, expect an in-person meeting followed by introductions to senior team leaders.
Though we may have immediate and urgent needs, please know we care more about getting the right person in than filling a slot. We put people and culture fit above plain experience.
Company culture is very important to me. I liked that everyone seemed happy to be here and it made me want to work here, too.
Some days I bike to work and other days I'll take the T. When I get into the office I make a fresh cup of coffee. I like to start my morning by organizing my day. I see which calls and meetings I have scheduled and make sure I’m fully prepared for them. I then schedule my prospecting times around those calls, and use whatever time I have for other tasks needed to help the team out.
I like being part of a team that is trying to grow our brand. It’s a rewarding feeling.
Right now, I’m adapting to a new market. I’m used to working with people in the IT space. So trying to figure out how we can best help HR professionals is a welcoming challenge that I'm excited to accept.
Our team is very transparent, we meet regularly to discuss what has been working and what hasn’t. We are able to meet with Sales Ops and Marketing to bring up our ideas to make kununu even more successful.
I like the family feel that kununu has. I have worked for companies before that don’t have the same sense of community and that can make work unbearable.
Be honest about what you know and what you think you can bring to the team. Ask questions!
So many things! First and foremost, I wanted to work for a company whose mission I support and believe in. kununu’s mission is to establish transparency in the workplace so job seekers and employers both find the perfect fit.
I wear many hats at kununu so every day is very different. I put fires out wherever they pop up and make sure the team here has everything they need to do their jobs.
Currently, I am mostly involved with kununu’s recruiting efforts, finance, HR, office management, conference preparations, and internal/external events. So typically, my days include lots of communication with job applicants, scheduling of interviews, and project management for the different conferences that are coming up.
On top of that I make sure that everything runs smoothly around the office, that new employees receive the warm welcome they deserve and that our small team here stays happy and works together.
There were several things that initially attracted me to kununu. If I had to pick just one though it would be our mission: to help employers and job seekers find their perfect fit through workplace insights that matter. This really resonated with me during my job search- to be able to help people who were in the same position I was in seemed super rewarding, and it still is today!
As a member of the Customer Success Team I primarily spend my days helping our wonderful clients. Whether it is creating profiles, merging companies, answering user requests, or adjusting content; no day is the same which I love about my job!
My favorite part about my job is having the ability to constantly work with different teams, allowing me to collaborate with a variety of people both in the Boston office and colleagues overseas.
The biggest challenge I face in my role is making sure all users are happy. Sometimes negative reviews can let people down but by using a wider lens I encourage users/customers to see this as an opportunity to acknowledge and learn from previous mistakes; we all make them!
Communication is key! We meet frequently throughout the week to align on upcoming meetings, calls and projects. Our goal is to deliver as much value as we possibly can to our customers.
At kununu I always feel that my ideas and opinions are valued and ultimately put to good use. To me, it is incredibly rewarding to see positive differences being made by the work I put forth. I get excited to come to work everyday and help others find their perfect fit like I did mine.
My lovely coworkers are an added bonus!
Culture is everything to us here at kununu. The most important tip I can give is to be yourself and always come with your own questions!
A kununu Employer Branding Profile is your opportunity to connect with job seekers and current employees. Describe your company mission, showcase company culture, and give job seekers insight into what it's like to be a part of your team. Your Employer Branding Profile allows you to influence the talk about your company through customization and conversation.
To inquire about our Employer Branding Profile options, please email us at ebp@kununu.us.
We encourage companies to design their own profiles to represent their unique company culture. You can search the site for company profiles of different industries and company sizes to serve as inspiration.
Nothing
Everything
An awesome crew that helps one another
Could be more transparent, specifically with regards to celebrating failure and learning from it.
The oldest one is running the show - seems like he is being treated well ,-)
If the company continues to grow, everybody can grow with it. The MD started as B2B Marketing Director.
Unfortunately some "bad" hires were made early on and these ex employees are sometimes talking and writing bad about kununu.
Even when we don't make our numbers in the early days, nobody has to worry about the next pay check or similar. 100% focus on users and customers.
Current team is not very diverse.
I love the culture here. We have a sonos speaker where we collectively play music throughout the day. We all bond over food, animals, travel, music, shows, sports, and family.
Management has done everything they can to make sure we are achieving our potential. Everything from weekly 1-on-1s to customized trainings
Everyone has been extremely helpful. My direct teammates and I collaborate to make sure we're doing our best to succeed. Members of other departments are always willing to help in any way they can
Once you've ramped up, you basically have the freedom to build your own pipeline, run your own calls, and still have management support when you want it.
We have weekly meetings with the whole team to go over goals as a company. We also use kununu Engage surveys
Seems to be about 50/50
I often find myself trying to learn from my older colleagues' experience.
I received what I asked for
The office is an updated area with an open floor plan. Conference rooms can get tight from time to time, but typical growing pains
Recycling set up, and bevi machine to reduce the number of cans and bottles used
9-5:30. People work from home some days throughout the week
It's cool working for a global brand. Though kununu's presence isn't as big in the US, that's what we're working to change!
As long as you put in the effort and do your work, you should have no problems
There's a ramp leading up to the building, and an elevator between floors. No automatic doors
It certainly is a challenge to get the name out there. But we are getting more and more recognition every day!
The company is still at the point where you're able to make a difference and voice your opinion. Free lunch on Fridays is a great perk as well
Nothing so far
Thank you for your review! We always appreciate comments that depict an accurate description of our company culture, such as everyone being “extremely helpful”, portraying a casual work environment with our sonos, and displaying a cool global brand! Being able to bond over the topics you pointed out: music, food, and animals (we LOVE dogs!) is something that truly makes our office feel like a family. While we continue to infuse a positive company culture, reviews like these give us honest and helpful feedback at what we are doing, and how we take these reviews seriously and listen to our employees. You mentioned weekly 1-on-1s and customized training, which are part of our belief in making sure everyone is happy and enjoys coming to work and succeeding while moving toward our company’s goals and outcomes. We agree that parts of our UX need changes and improvements, as these are challenges that we continue to work on as we grow. And as one of our five company core values, keeping an open mind, we love when employees like yourself share your thoughts and display the values which we strive to live by each day. Thank you again for the feedback you’ve provided, and we look forward to more reviews in the future! kununu
