Pros

Cool tech, you get to work from home, and have work-life balance

Cons

The majority of the core people passionate about the problem space and knowledgeable of the product stack left. The ones left in charge are those who were singing the tune the GM wanted to hear. Everyone is an expert, so you end up with too many chefs in the kitchen as a daily occurrence, incapable of making a decision because everyone is opinionated. There have been no opportunities for growth or promotions since I joined 5 years ago. Not ran as a tech company, nor with the compensation of one, nor with the desire to build the best product or innovate. "Garbage in garbage out" gets used daily to refer to the products by the people in charge of them.

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.
