Pros

I got the opportunity to meet some extremely smart, well-kept coworkers during my time at Akerna.

Cons

Unfortunately, these brilliant minds were mostly ignored when it came to decision making. My entire team was laid off, and now Akerna appears to be a penny stock.

Pros

Honored our original employment agreements when they bought our company.

Cons

Dangled the carrot of a 4-day work week in and never implemented it Poor communication Draconian policies and procedures Not interested in improving Told us they were severely cutting our benefits after joining, then backpedaled and kept what we originally had. Reset the timer on our eligibility for bonuses.
