Pros

Great coworkers with positive attitude. Everyone has been through thick and thin together and has each others backs. Staff are great.

Cons

Multiple projects with competing priorities. Engineers expected to support and develop at same time for multiple products. Workload not sustainable. Pay below market rates and by companies own admission in compensation ratio. Team expected to give 200% effort doesn’t match compensation. Working with distributed teams means late nights or early mornings or both on the same day. Junior heavy teams with hiring being done nearly exclusively from campus hires. Taking advantage of young career workers who don’t know any better, only room for growth is that of increasing burnout. Exodus of experienced team members. Cheap short term thinking at the expense of staff, career growth, and compensation. Do not be an engineer in the IT organization here.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
