Pros

Most co-workers are very nice people, easy to work with, no dramas. No layoffs even during the worst time. Able to remote and flexible hours.

Cons

Compensation is 40% less than industry average in California. They say bonus and raises are performance based, but it's more like market based, if the marked is bad, even top performers don't get anything. No standard raise for promotion, it's all depending on the market, they would promote somebody to take more responsibility but don't give the raise until 2 years later. Micromanagement has been increasing recent years.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
