Pros
Since coming to KT I've been impressed at the level of transparency and structure within my department. I joined the team because I was looking to be empowered as a super IC. Everything I noticed in my interviewing and in discussions leading up to my offer have come through since I've joined. When I was interviewing and considering the offer everything in my gut felt that this company was living it's values, their was a huge learning opportunity for me and this could be the most influential company I work for in my career thus far. The highlights have been: - Resources: I have access to all the tools I need to do my job, and to do it well. The knowledge of my peers and their support to get me ramped up has been easy and effortless. - Transparency: In my second week, our CEO got up in the all-hands and owned what we've done well and where we fell short. The all-hands actual have structure and meaning to them and highlight specific departments instead of being boring numbers and figures. - Work/life balance: Speaking for my team, we're treated like adults (bonus!). I can tell that my team puts in the work and has the flexibility to wfh when needed and has the flexibility to take vacation when needed. This is something I really valued and wanted in my next company so I could pursue my passions outside of work.
Cons
As the company is growing, it's harder and harder to know a lot of employees outside of your department.
