Pros

Kite has free snacks. The people below management are wonderful. The ability to foster relationships with coworkers and become part of a team is made easy by those on shift.

Cons

Employee training is lacking. Due to burnout those on the floor do not provide comprehensive training for newer individuals. The supervisors are incapable of handling the duties if their position due to them not knowing how to do the process. Supervisors and management would rather participate and encourage discord rather than promote team unity. HR does not keep matters confidential which adds to the volatile culture. The company preaches work life balance but only when it does not interfere with production.

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.
