Pros

I loved the ability to perform remote work from my home. Headhunters are great and very assistive at getting new employees onboarded efficiently. This is a newer company experiencing a great deal of growing pains by trying to accomplish acquire clients/work in a short amount of time. You will never be bored in this job due to the over abundance of work. You will definitely get to work and learn on the fly.

Cons

Very short staffed, quite a bit of employee turnover. While the work was remote, I had to move to the State where the Client was. I found out from other employees, they were given the opportunity to stay in their Home State, which led to contention from various people. Employees are directed/encouraged to give positive feedback on job boards so the company gets recognized. No work/life balance. You will work long hours to achieve client satisfaction. Low pay for experienced employees. Lower non-performing employees get promoted. Work creeps out of scope regularly which requires 50-72/hr work week without increase of compensation...anything to keep clients happy. Management is hit and miss. Responses to concerns are at times late or never responded to. New hires are not always vetted for skills and may not always be qualified to perform work. This impacts the hard working staff to perform their work and other employees to meet deadlines. Small firm mindset, high stress, heavy workload, long hours, inadequate training = no work/life balance.

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback and experience working with K&A Engineering Consulting. We are happy to hear you enjoyed working remotely and you were able to grow your skill set! We appreciate your insight regarding areas of frustration. We feel it's important to note that we would never ask or encourage employees to write positive reviews - we simply share our various digital platforms with the company so that if they would like to follow along, share feedback or write a review, they know where they can do so. We work hard to ensure the people we hire for a specific job are not only qualified but also a great culture fit. Work-life balance is incredibly important at K&A and we know how critical it is for overall employee wellbeing and stress management. This quarter we are building focus groups throughout the organization to hone in on how we can improve as a company, together. We will be sure to keep your points in mind and raise them at our next leadership meeting and in the focus groups so that we can strive to be the best workplace we can. We value what our team brings to the table and encourage you to reach out to discuss these concerns at any time.

Company exported my job to Nepal

Pros

It is a solid job if you can stay.

Cons

Company hired four entry level employees, spent all this time and money to train all of us up, only to fire all of us within 3 months. They told me that I'm being let go due to not enough work coming in from the utility company but this was after the already established Nepal team joined. The way they handled it was a bit suspicious especially considering this happened after I went to hr with some complaints I had.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your feedback and take these concerns seriously. We wish to clarify that if layoffs occur which is very rare, it is strictly due to business conditions and workflow changes and are unrelated to individual employment decisions. We also encourage all our employees to raise any concerns they might have through appropriate channels, including HR, and we review all feedback carefully to ensure we maintain a supportive workplace environment.
