Pros

The culture has always been special, and despite my years as a team member and the exponential growth the team has undergone, it still is. That is no accident, the leaders and the team continue to double down on what works, whilst iterating what doesn't, to keep the culture strong and alive. Work-life balance is treated with real respect here, our leaders male and female leave the office to attend children's activities, go to the gym, etc. And working from home or taking time out for vacation is accepted and encouraged. There has always been open and two-way communication between the team and the leaders and as we grow, if anything it is more encouraged and multiple avenues are available to the team to ensure that the leaders are in the loop and can make decisions in the best interest of the team.

Cons

There are high standards here. Of professionalism, behavior, ideas and execution. For some who prefer a looser environment, this is a con. Also, some people are (based on previous reviews) are calling these high standards K1's decisions, which isn't the case.

Hey there, thanks for your contributions and taking the time to write a review! So glad to hear you love our culture and that you see the efforts we make to keep the culture strong. I want to remind you to use those two-way communication tools to let us know when you see opportunities for improvement, when you tell us where we are falling short we have the opportunity to dig in. Thanks again for taking the time to write us a review!

Pros

Flexible PTO (though this is changing). Work-life balance was decent, especially earlier on. My customers were the best part of the role, and I genuinely felt for them as they navigated a significant amount of organizational change.

Cons

I stayed longer than I probably should have because the strongest parts of my experience were early on. After the acquisition, the culture shifted enough that many people started reevaluating their time here. It became more process-heavy, less transparent, and much more rigid than before. Management experiences varied widely. At one point, I went months without a clear direct manager or consistent point of contact, which created confusion around ownership and expectations.
