Kano Computing

If you are an expert in a field, you are allowed to take ownership of what you're working on. Your opinions are highly valued and you get to have a great amount of say in how your work is to be structured, without any micromanagement.

Kano has been incredibly open about flexible working. Of course there are some incentives to going to office (Friday lunches and getting to know some really smart people). But overall, you get to work as flexibly as you would like.

There is constant appreciation for great work, I definitely feel that my work is recognised in the company. Every Friday we also have "weekly wins" where we announce wins from each team to the rest of the company!

The mission of Kano has personally resonated with me from the time I applied for my role. To empower people through tech and not to be made just for consumption. The products we make and the things I bring to the table hold a great responsibility to best represent us to show and empower to global audiences.

Kano's working environment is definitely hands-on-deck, you get to dabble and work with the whole spectrum of the company to achieve and execute the best work. You have the flexibility to individually find problems and solve them without permission. If the work you intend to do brings value, the company will most definitely appreciate you.

Everyone is welcome in each other's departments. There's no real hierarchy in the company, which welcomes all types of voices and perspectives which helps us execute the most unique and out-of-the-box thoughts and work. There are of course people who have provided a rich legacy that the company has today, but they're always willing to help guide, listen and mentor if need be.

At Kano we encourage independent decision making, treat people like adults, are transparent and value people over processes. We are a bunch of very smart, welcoming, extremely creative and talented people who are changing the face of consumer tech. We have an unparalleled, inspiring vision and our products have changed the world of music consumption this year

Our first product in our collaboration with Yeezy has changed what an audio device looks and feels like and can do. It has redefined the genre and is an object of beauty

Our people are what makes us very special. Our world class team deliver everything in house. We work cross functionally - at Kano you will have a chance to grow and learn across many parts of the business.

My first year at Kano has been pretty incredible for my career and its progression. I moved from mid to senior after being given the exposure, autonomy and confidence to succeed and I look forward to many more years working here and for all the opportunities that are to come.

This team is probably the most hard working one I have ever been on in my career thus far. Every single person is super passionate about what we are trying to achieve and have achieved and with that comes the focus and termination to create something really special. We all support each other even on the hard days and everyones work ethic is next to none.

The great thing about Kano is that everyone has a story and a different background. We have a company ritual every Friday called Show and Tell where someone presents something special to them. Many times people have shared something about their background or where they are from in the world and it's a great way to learn more about your colleagues, other cultures, food, beliefs, social issues that are important to them and much more. Everyone is accepted for who they are and its such a warm environment to be apart of.

At Kano, you are provided with the opportunity unlike any other company. You are encouraged to shape your role and your work. How much you learn, develop and challenge yourself is on you. You can change the sector, and brand, through your own autonomy.

I never been around so many smart people. Everyone at Kano is a sector leading expert on something. The people here, in every role, are hugely beneficial to your work life here and there skill set will only develop yours.

Kano takes into account you as a person first and foremost. Whether you are a parent, disabled or have mental health arrangements, Kano make sure your wellbeing comes first. Making sure your work doesn’t become a burden.
