Pros

1. good pay in the Industry! 2. Good admin, and responds quickly to Employee concerns.

Cons

1. No work life balance. Work , work and work! That's it.. Nothing else. You are expected to stretch beyond 9 hours daily, else the Manager would think that you're not working at all and relaxing all the time. The timelines submitted are crunchy and never ever suffice if you work for 9hrs daily. So, Now you know why you need to stretch your timings! 2. The product is very unstable. If something works in android, the same might create issues on iPhone and vice versa. 3. Management is really bad, as even though they conduct Employee reviews/feedback annually, the situation prevails to be the same! This needs to change seriously.

Pros

The employees are great. Most people are very smart and passionate about what they do. In the time I was there I never had any problem working with anyone in the company. Always someone to go to lunch with and lots of staff drinks after work (mostly organized by staff and not management) Good flexibility for work-life balance...for some people

Cons

- Disorganized. - Not diverse. - No support for career advancement/training/certification/education - Totally inconsistent with a lack of focus. Strategic direction seems to change every 6 months and it never makes complete sense. - Leadership is tone deaf to the market and is not willing to adapt. Stubbornness is why nothing is selling and the company is falling apart. - Top Leadership doesn't engage with employees unless they feel like they have to. - HR is beyond useless and gossips about EVERYONE. There is no confidentiality in HR. - Lots of recent turnover with long time employees because of messed up operations and managers egos. - LOTS of people have left to go work for the founder of Kony at his new company, or they left to go back to their old jobs. - TERRIBLE operations. Travel policy is crazy!!! Some people can't afford to come out of pocekt and be reimbursed for almost everything. $7k in expenses for travel is ridiculous!
