Pros

Found some amazing friends who will last past the walls of KLAS

Cons

The last few months at KLAS have been extremely challenging due to organizational changes. The announcement of a layoff in November, which ultimately occurred at the end of February, created significant stress across all teams. There was noticeable tension in the office knowing meetings where taking place and you could see them taking place, and many employees were hesitant to come into the office as it brought great anxiety. It was clear that these changes were on everyone's minds, even if people tried to act as though nothing was happening. The environment during this period was understandably difficult, and it had a strong impact on team morale. A number of people left prior to the layoff as they didn't know or understand what was happening next. From my understanding people do not fully understand

Pros

The mission of the company is noble and needed. Coworkers are caring, bright, and hardworking individuals.

Cons

While the company mission is admirable, it is now consistently overshadowed by a drive for money over all, a lack of consistent messaging, and poor leadership. Tools are so far behind that leadership has placed huge bets on AI, which continues to disappoint and underwhelm. When once the company looked within for talent to train and promote, we now hire more from the outside, particularly for senior leadership, which has been disastrous for morale and culture. Layoffs have eroded trust not only because now there is too much work for everyone else to absorb (with poor tools all around), but also because our current leadership doesn’t understand the overall mission or individual and team responsibilities. Leadership messages are chaotic. Managers don’t know how to cover for senior leadership missteps, training is abysmal, and many are looking for employment elsewhere. We’ve already lost great talent, and more losses are looming.
