Pros

CKM has been a good first job in tech and the company does have a good track record of hiring those new to the field. Learned a lot from some coworkers. Benefits program is decent with no paycheck deductions for benefits. Made some good friends while there and many ex-CKMers still keep in touch and get together. Office has free drinks, snacks and regular social events.

Cons

Company performance has been struggling with very little sales. CKM is basically a services or technical staff augmentation company limping along as a wanna-be tech product company. Leadership seemed to chase any potential project opportunity without a clear vision or focus on what our business was. Such a lack of focus made it unclear what we were all trying to achieve. CEO often brought a sour attitude to the office and regularly treated people quite poorly or snapped. He'd be extremely nice one minute then publicly degrading someone the next minute over some trivial thing. CKM was also a difficult environment for women in technology. Coworkers discussed how it was made clear by leadership that women weren't well suited for senior roles in the company. With the market for talent quite hot it quickly became clear that everyone could do better and didn't need to accept such an environment. Ultimately the lack of clear and consistent direction for the company combined with a difficult and often condescending leadership gave many little reason to stay.

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.
