Not what it used to be

Pros

The benefits are solid even though some were cut. The internal platforms are helpful.

Cons

The goalpost for promotions is always changing. Kepler claims you must be operating at the above level to move up but fail to provide those opportunities and prove that a structured process supports growth. They'll say a readiness doc is needed but it's simply a distraction, it doesn't provide timelines nor does a completed readiness doc indicate you'll move up with a promotion. They'll happily try to pressure you to work above your pay grade without a raise or title change for however long they think they can get away with. Leaders do not care about their employee growth or wellbeing. They will tell you one thing and do another yet expect there to be trust. HR even fails to spell your name right despite being their employee for years...Its a white-dominated space so good luck if you're a minority. The best way to thrive here is to love alcohol, be white, and have friends high up.

Pros

What Pros? Seriously. I'm really trying to think of one thing. If you get into a clique you'll be protected at all costs and get away with just about anything so I guess that's a pro for the lucky few.

Cons

I felt out of place from the moment I joined the team. Some members were pretty openly unfriendly toward me which I excused as social awkwardness but it was pervasive. They would ignore me and all my contributions in team meetings. The only time they would acknowledge me was to scold me for something I had nothing to do with. My manager, the director, and other leadership essentially told me to stand up for myself but the reality was that only ostracized me further. I felt so alone and internalized a lot of the mistreatment. I thought that as long as I did my best and over delivered they would give me a break. Of course that didn't happen because these situations shouldn't happen in any legitimate, respectable business anywhere. I was laid off by two people I've never heard of before and to be honest it was the best thing to happen to me. Some other things: The pay is mediocre compared to industry standard. They fact that they have very serious cash flow issues. Rampant nepotism that has come back to haunt them. Hire competent people! especially leadership not just your friends or your friends, friends this isn't college. If you get bullied and don't speak up you'll be ostracized, if you speak up, you'll be ostracized. If you go above and beyond to prove you're worth of respect or dignity they'll gaslight you into thinking you didn't do anything special. There is no work-life balance, this job became my life even while working at home the perks they offered for working late were meager and did little to make this job a sustainable option for most people. When I did the math (Monthly Salary divided by the hours I worked I was making less than minimum wage) They brag about how great their training program is but it's really not helpful. All my knowledge and skills came from my previous job and my self-learning but their training was mandatory and ate up so much of my day (you had to do a full day's work and complete sessions simultaneously).

Pros

Insurance and decent in house lunch options

Cons

The amount of nonsense from these 5 star reviews as of recent is insane. Like wow I really want to know how much they are paying some of these people to say these things. Transparency they will give you the minimum amount of transparency then say we will do better. Rick is delusional as is everyone else in this company who is high up. If you arent liked by one of the higher ups and playing whose most popular dont even bother get the money and experience and leave. Its shocking how people can leave 5 star reviews yet ive seen more colleagues laid off or leaving because of how horrible the company has become. Its quite sad for all those "awards" they talk about it yet they keep losing clients. Its quite funny oh we get this award next thing you know layoffs and a decline in revenue.
