Pros

Love working at Kensington, I have been here for many years. The company is flexible and offers a great work life balance for its employees. The company acts much like an entrepreneurial company meaning you can make a quick decisions and an impact in your role without too many layers getting in the way. It is a fast paced business so it really keeps your motivated and interested. The location is great too close to HWY 92 and 101/280 freeways also Cal Train is an easy commute option.

Cons

We need more good employees to share in the workload.

Pros

Good work-life balance, and opportunities to make an impact anywhere in the organization. Product development and sales seem to be on a positive track, but are hampered by a haywire organization. Kensington is a lean organization that manages to move product development at a rapid pace. An improving product portfolio and long-term partnerships with major brands.

Cons

Little or no emphasis on employee development, and middle management struggles to think long-term. Even as sales makes modest improvements, many decisions are based on meeting rushed and semi-arbitrary goals, which causes unnecessary urgency and churn on small projects. Half (!) of the organization has titles of "Manager" or above, but they can struggle to manage their own responsibilities (and don't have reporting employees). High health insurance plan costs, which can be partly offset through employee wellness programs.
