Company is setting a firm growth plan and investing in its employees
Pros
Pros: -Recent comp changes have made a career at CK extremely competitive, and the pay is very good across the whole company -The company spends a lot on employees, from office events to outside of work activities, the perks seriously add value in the office (although sometimes I feel like there are some people whose actual title here is Sr Manager of Ping Pong...) -Leadership has made a constructive effort at addressing transparency and outlining their plan for the future of CK. It makes sense, and if executed definitely leaves me feeling positive about the company.
Cons
Cons: We’re still growing, but there needs to be more senior/leadership accountability unless we want to continue sweeping failure under the rug. As we scale, we won’t grow unless we address what’s not working. -Work life balance can be extremely varied at best. Some people seem to go to work to play ping pong (seriously I’ve never seen so many serious ping pong duals in the middle of the day), some actually have a steady work life, while there are some floors where you consistently see people sitting at their desk at 8pm or later. While PTO, office closures, and certain benefits aimed at providing employees the r&r they need are great, I think there needs to be more done to drive consistency across the company. Overall it’s not terrible, and changes like the winter break are in the right direction, but a clear and enforced WFH policy would keep progressing on this front as an example.
