Pros

With most of the staff in data science or engineering, there is a real sense of community here, in which people share similar interests and learn from each other. As others have mentioned, the company really encourages professional growth and collaboration, so there are ample opportunities to explore different aspects of data science and analytics. They also promote a company that is run by its employees, which allows you to influence what you think is important or exciting via the numerous committees they have set up. People are friendly and approachable, and you're really able to be yourself here. Overall, I think it's perfect for someone starting their career and especially for those that are interested in business and management. We have a really talented team, and really do provide a lot of value to our clients.

Cons

Things were shaky this year, as the company went through a reorg, becoming a corporation instead of an LLC, getting a name change, and investing a lot in product development - with many new engineering hires. The sales leadership they hired did not seem to work out, and as a result, there were few projects to keep people really busy. Due to all the changes, and general timing around bonuses, there were several departures, which had a big impact on morale. Most of the above has subsided, and there is a much better business outlook, but it had a lasting impact on the culture which we are still recovering from.

Pros

Coworkers are diverse and incredibly driven. A few client projects can be very interesting and engaging. Company allows for occasional team dinners and company parties are extremely well-catered.

Cons

Client projects have become rare. Most work is focused on building internal HR tools. Exceptionally nepotistic despite management claims of flat company structure. Directors are paid unfairly high wages for very little experience. Condescension has become a primary means to get ahead as well as a management tactic. Most key benefits are only given to senior staff who have impeccable reviews. Benefits are tied to and arbitrary 5 point scale that (by management’s own admission) less than 20% of employees can access. Management has started surveilling employee arrival time. Employees have begun to quit en masse (almost 50%) which had been terrible for morale.

Pros

CKM gives a lot of people without experience a stepping stone into engineering. You can really learn a lot here, but you do have to aggressively advocate for what you want to learn. There is a lot of flexibility, which is nice. I was able to go to therapy during the workday each week, which was really appreciated. I made a lot of genuine friends here, and I loved many of my coworkers so much. However, it can also be a bit cliquey, and it can be hard to mobilize career movement unless you have someone in management to advocate for you. You can effect change if you have the vision and the drive!

Cons

CKM makes promises and many are left unmentioned and without follow through. For example, when CKM changed their salary structure away from bonuses and announced that everyone would be receiving raises as a result– when the raises didn't come, CKM said nothing. They were asked to release market research multiple times and nothing ever came of this. Top management seems to have no vision for what the company should be nor what it is currently doing. Additionally, staffing is controlled by people who seem to not understand what individuals are capable of nor the skills that different projects require. There is a lot of favoritism that seems to be picked at random by the partners that is shown in both project staffing as well as bonuses. Women rarely make the cut, but there are one or two exceptions for the partners to use as "proof" that they aren't sexist.
