      Pros

      Was a great environment in the beginning, included all employees (permanent and contract), Good benefits, decent pay, nice building.

      Cons

      Very toxic environment. No one in upper management truly cares about their employees, let alone treating human beings properly, no ethical character at this company. HR should be reported for how inappropriate they are because they do not care if employees are bullied. Kite used to be great until new management came in. A lot of weak, higher level management who feel powerful and important but would probably not last in another decent company. Best decision I made was leaving this toxicity.

      Pros

      - Great benefits including 401K matching, tuition re imbursement, HSA matching, stock/bonus awards, and wellness awards. - Excellent campus with onsite/subsidized food court, gym, volleyball/pickle ball/volley ball court, zoom enables conference rooms, and shuttle service. - Company shutdown in July and December. - Laboratory spaces stocked with new equipment. - Utilizes electronic batch record system instead of paper.

      Cons

      - Poor collaboration between site leadership resulting in distractingly competitive environment focused more on positive optics rather than continuous improvement. - Poor short term and long term planning, often resulting in inconsistent operations schedule and unclear deadlines/objectives.
