Pros

It's best suited for recent graduates or people who have no prior work experience. They offer an attractive benefits package, and it's a good option for people who want their personal and work life to strongly intersect. You're virtually required to hang out with your co-workers after work, on weekends and at social events if you want to have a career here. That's a positive for some people, but a major negative for others.

Cons

What others have said here is true. The company is run like a cult. It's one thing to have company values, but it's another when they put the values on your keycard, in your cubicle, in the kitchen, and in all of the lounge walls. My team is forced every few months to get together and talk about how we have used kCura's core values to enhance our personal lives. And you better have a good story! The biggest problem with kCura's obsession with core values is that they use it as a threat more often than as encouragement. Simply voicing concerns can sometimes be enough to be told that you're not adhering to core values. Worse yet, management has an extremely myopic view of right and wrong. A great example was when I overheard one of the sales directors arguing on the phone with a customer. He said with a straight face "we aren't arrogant. In fact, we're ridiculously humble. We pride ourselves on our humility! I will send you our core values to prove to you how wrong you are!"

Pros

Big monitors. Lots of free booze. Working here will make your next job where you work half the hours for lots more money, get treated with respect, and have a sane boss all the more enjoyable.

Cons

The CEO is volatile and immature. He’s known for throwing tantrums. He will seek out feedback from his employees, and then become enraged if he doesn’t like what he hears. There are no women in positions of authority. The fraternity of guys who have been with the company from the beginning are suspicious of anyone who has worked at another company. They prefer to hire recent graduates who are less threatening and cheaper.
