Our compromise
Diversity in our sector is pretty uncommon. It takes effort and there is always more work that can be done towards that goal since we are all human with our own hidden biases. We think it is worth pursuing, though. Diverse teams are more creative and build better products. They make better decisions and have more successful companies. At Kernel, we also think that hiring and fostering a diverse team is just the right thing to do.
In Kernel we promise not to go silent on you. We strive to never go more than seven days without letting you know the status of your application.
