Pros

As another former employee mentioned, work here only if you are desperate for the paycheck. Beyond that, there are some top-notch professionals working here but unfortunately your chance to work with them will be limited as there is high turnover across almost all teams.

Cons

This is one of the most pathetic jokes of a company I've ever seen. Management is bumbling and utterly lost, the products are horrendous, and the culture is oppressive, paranoid, ridiculous. If you are perusing the reviews here, notice the pattern of excited, happy employees in India, and depressed, frustrated employees in the US - this is not a coincidence, it's a reflection of the company itself. It's because senior management is in the US; if you are far away in India you have the benefit of not seeing the incompetence up close.

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!
