Pros

Like most companies, KS has its challenges. The difference is, KS continues to try to do something about them. We help save lives every day. We are proud of what we do. There are many high performers and they usually get tag for the extra work. We continue to work on breaking down silo's and providing a productive work environment. Plenty of room for advancement if you are willing to criss/cross to different areas in the company

Cons

Probably takes too long to address low performers. Too much fear in the environment. Given so many different business units, the silo thing is a real challenge.

Pros

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Cons

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
