Disappointing Post-Acquisition Experience - Anonymous employee Valtech Employee Review

As a former K+C employee, I found that the acquisition by Valtech drastically altered the culture and operations—unfortunately, not for the better. Since the transition, change management has been painfully slow, with no standardized processes in place and each service line operating in silos. Frequent layoffs and inconsistent demand have fostered a pervasive sense of anxiety, made worse by a lack of visible, transparent leadership. The ongoing friction between K+C and Valtech’s ways of working—where each side believes their approach is superior—has created a constant tug-of-war. This tension has only deepened the challenges, contributing to a toxic work environment. The organization urgently needs decisive, present leadership to unite teams, streamline operations, and drive meaningful change.
