While we cannot change the past we CAN focus on Kony's future. Our new executive team has put together a long term strategy and set business objectives and goals for this year. These objectives and goals have been communicated to the company during our recent all hands meeting and cascade down to the individual contributor level. Everyone within the company will have an opportunity to impact and be accountable for progress towards these goals. While Kony is experiencing change as a result of recent, new leadership, we think it is exciting change that will help strengthen Kony's position in the marketplace and continue to move us forward in a positive direction.

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!
