Pros

Innovative, fast-paced company. Proud to work at a company leading instead of following the competition. A company that stands for its culture; they practice, not just preach They assign responsibility, give freedom, and expect accountability, flawless execution High level of Job satisfaction. They have a great product and they strive for customer success

Cons

This is a startup culture that changes quickly, so to be a fit, you need to be able to adjust to change easily.

Pros

You may get a decent hike when joining the company. Kony is struggling to attract talent, so they are willing to pay a decent hike (one time hike only!) when you join. So make sure you negotiate properly with the HR and demand a very big hike before joining. Freshers in platform team may learn something new. Company is expanding. So there maybe good opportunities for Business analysts and marketing folks.

Cons

Kony is not a start-up anymore. So all the advantages of a start-up are gone. Kony is not an established company either. So there is no process in place. Basically, Kony is a company of semi-talented engineers mostly doing UI work. Its basically a 99% UI company....NOT a mobile company. Only the platform team (100 odd people) work on the actual mobile phone (mostly writing wrappers, they don't do app development). Everyone from associate engineer to architect is mostly involved in margin, padding, button, label etc. There are 0 hikes after you join. Worst canteen in the whole world. Even worse than hostel food. No transportation facilities. Avoid this company if you can. Don't get carried away with the initial salary raise. There is more to a job than money. Avoid this company specially if you are already working in a big organization (cognizant, IBM, Microsoft etc). Don't get tempted by the pay hike or the idea of working for a small company (i.e idea of getting more responsibilities) . Its not worth leaving a big established firm and joining Kony.

Pros

Salary is good, nothing comes in my mind then. If you compare with other Indian company, Kony is paying better.

Cons

No transparency False promises before you join. Profile is not clear before you join. Your manager is everything. Failed to maintain the CMM level standard No work life balance Horrible night shift with now allowances.
