I guess one of the biggest challenges I faced while at kCura was the level of incompetent individuals that I worked with. This company does a great job for never giving credit to those who deserve it. For some reason, you may work months, even years at this company to earn your credibility and respect - and persist to be a 'nobody.' The reason being, there are people in management who coyly take all credit of other's work without an ounce of hesitation.
I was never valued for my work. I am a recent graduate looking to work hard - really hard. However, being young - I was never looked at as a highly educated information systems major, but merely someone who was dished the work that no one wanted to do; the meaningless, tireless, value-less work that contributes nothing to a team. If you are someone who has recently graduated, I highly encourage you to look elsewhere.
The last bit I'll mention was the prevalence of nepotism. Those who thrive are those who are old time 'buddies' of management. Half of the management team never finished college and are entirely unqualified for their positions. They make some decisions based entirely on heated emotion and on a whim. What makes it more frustrating, is that some of these impulsive decisions cost employees their jobs and they'll never think twice on it.
I never knew it was possible to enjoy your job until I left kCura.
