KinderSystems reviews

This is also an odd review: We have not had any engineers that worked here for more than 3 years leave us in a long time (years). Searching through our records, nobody comes to mind. This must be a very old grudge that is just now being posted. Our vacation plan is: two weeks for employees with 0 to 5 years with the company, three weeks for employees with 5 - 10 years with the company, and four weeks for employees with 10 years or more with the company. Also, we have one week of sick time and 8 company holidays. We pay 50% of all health insurance costs for employees including families. We have a full tuition reimbursement plan and we encourage employees to use it. It must benefit the company, so it's general for technical classes, project management, and related education. Less than two years ago we have bought brand-new computers and large screens for every employee. Saying employees have to use old computers is an outright lie. It makes no sense for a software company to have people use old computers. We don't have a death-wish. About code base: We are a 25-year-old company, and we still support customers that bought systems from us 20 years ago. We cannot force our customers to upgrade in some cases. So there is old code to support here, like there is in any old company. However, we also have systems on mobile applications that were designed and implemented in 2018. So a blanket statement about "atrocious" code is confusing. There are several hundreds of man-years of code in this company. Revolving door: We have very little employee turnover. We have some people who have been with the company for more than 20 years, many for more than 10 years. Enough. I sound defensive.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. You've indicated you are a former employee and I'm sorry to see that your experience with KinderSystems didn't work out for you. We strongly believe in transparency, aligning individual goals with the company goals and our overall mission, and that every employee plays an important role in our success. That should not include micromanagement or unprofessional communication. Although you already left KinderSystems, I would appreciate if you would email me with more details so I can work with the Leadership Team to provide coaching: kbyers@kindersystems.com. Best, Kate Byers VP of People
