Leaders aren't leaders if they don't know how to motivate their teams through collaboration and trust

Pros

Perks and people. Most "on the front lines" are friendly and motivated to learn new things and help each other out. Perks are self explanatory. The company has a specific interest in giving back to the community (great focus on tech and education in Chicago) and the company in the form of outings, lunches, and gear. Also, kCura seems to have pretty stable growth and a sustained customer base so they're not going anywhere any time soon.

Cons

Leadership (CEO and VP) is often quick to blame individuals or the department for poor quality or bad outcomes, when really it starts from the top - lead by example, please! Entire departments are written off if they seemingly "don't get it" or don't produce exactly what leadership has in mind. What ever happened to providing context and goals - not requirements and ill-vetted opinions - so the team can collaborate on the appropriate solution? What happened to trusting the people you hired to do their jobs and play their part in making kCura successful (and keeping it that way)? Also, remaining competitive with outdated technology is only going to get harder and harder - do you want to become the Motorola/Sears of the Chicago engineering community?

Pros

• Strong management team • I'm excited to come into work every day because the work is interesting • Friendly, smart people that you'll learn a lot from • Company growing quickly on pace to own the market. Incredible growth potential. • People have fun -- pong, foos, nba jam, happy hours, etc. • You'll make some great friends here • You'll get a big training budget • Great perks/benefits • Company is small enough for you to make a major impact • Company is committed to agile, ships quickly and values stakeholder feedback • The CEO is awesome, approachable and a rare breed of brilliant engineer + salesman • The VP of engineering is friendly and a great listener devoted to improving the department and providing transparency to teams • Strong commitment to QA and test automation • Cutting edge technology that will someday have far-reaching impacts beyond our current market

Cons

For some roles, there's a lack of granularity that makes it difficult for folks to know what exactly they need to do to level up. I know kCura is acutely aware of this problem and I fully expect management to address this head on this year.

What is Everyone Talking About? Great Technology Company!

Pros

People: The folks who work here, and stay here, are nice, intelligent, creative and fun. And everyone is different, which is really awesome. Another common quality of the people who seem to enjoy working at kCura is that they work hard, give and take feedback and are continually working to get better. It is a humble organization with humble employees. Technology: The company provides awesome tools for us to get our work done. kCura is not afraid to spend money on the things that really benefit employees and what we do. Compensation and Benefits: This improves every year. As the company grows, so do our benefits and so must our policies. Company Culture: No company is perfect, but in my opinion, kCura has one of the best company cultures I've seen. In other reviews, people say it’s "cliquey" or "cultish," but this has never been something I've experienced. Employees like to hang out with each other and mingle. Yes, we have happy hours that involve alcohol. We also have sports leagues, various groups for gaming, volunteer activities, and a lot more. I would never say I felt like only one type of person has a social life at work, nor that I feel like I must drink to be involved.

Cons

Rapid Growth: We are growing quickly, and with that kCura struggles to maintain its culture. Understandably some things have to change, but I hope that the real kCura doesn't get lost in the hiring craze. Complainers: Obviously, with more headcount, you have more whiners. Don't like the free lunch offered after the staff meeting? No problem, don't eat it - it's free. Employees are starting to complain about a lot of little things and forget that two of our core values are to "Be humble & stay hungry" and to "Enjoy and be great at your job." Maybe instead of complaining, offer up some realistic suggestions for solutions & alternatives.
