Hours:
Kapost is a startup, full of fun challenges. The workload is not predictable. We do what we have to do when we have to do it in order to drive value, adoption, success, upsell, and renewal. So, you might work 30 hours some weeks, and 70 hours other weeks.
We have high expectations and challenging objectives when it comes to your performance. We evaluate by results, we don’t micromanage schedules. So, manage your own schedule, meet our expectations, and achieve your objectives, and we’ll all be happy :)
