Bottom Line Up Front: do not accept an offer of employment from Kepler; wait for a different job offer to come through. Kepler has serious issues with the way they allow their directors and managers to behave and treat subordinates. Many of the people leaders at Kepler are only 2-3 years out of college and have no business being in levels of authority. Ultimately, you will most likely be subjected to a toxic work environment that can cause serious harm to your mental health. HR is worthless and won’t lift a finger to help or get involved when an employee needs it. It’s no wonder there are so many negative reviews of Kepler mentioning racism and homophobia. Hours are very long and managers will routinely expect you to take their calls after the day ends and work well over 60+ hour weeks. Then will deride your for not producing work in the exact way they were thinking, despite giving no instruction or guidance beforehand. Given these conditions, the pay is pretty disappointing and not very competitive for the market. In conclusion: there are many many corporate jobs in the same field as Kepler that offer a much more pleasant work experience. Wait a few more weeks for one of these companies to send you an offer. You’ll thank yourself for it in the long run.
