Pros

If you enjoy free note pads, 3 computer monitors, and resemble a doormat who enjoys being walked on - this is the company for you.

Cons

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.

Soda/juice/coffee/water always free. -Business is growing and making money. -Good company values. -Good company culture. -No pressure to attend happy hours, parties, or to donate to x-y-z causes.

Cons

-CEO not willing to have work from home options, EVER. -Sick days come out of your 18 days of vacation. -No work / life balance, especially if you commute from the suburbs. -Lots of young, inexperienced employees. -Annoying QA manager that consumes peoples' work hours. -No real career paths. -You won't really learn much if you already have several years of experience; not much to put on resume.

Pros

This company is the best for college aged kids, looking to party hard and work even harder. Nights, weekends, whatever it takes to meet deadlines, all fueled by high-fives and free alcohol. Sure the CEO is a bit emotional but that just means that he really loves his job. I can overlook that because they let me swear as much as I want in meetings. I work hard and let the leadership's friends make the big salaries and get promoted. They deserve it, they are loyal and will never leave, which is how you get promoted, from what I'm told. I'm working on improving my loyalty. I love the core values of the company because they keep us grounded yet are flexible when the leadership needs to get stuff done. Like restructure the company or throw an extravagant party, which are sick by the way. Everyone has fun at company parties and usually end in a hot tub. I also enjoy the policy of sharing hotel rooms on business trips.

Cons

The company is growing so fast that sometimes management has to encourage people to quit in order to support the growth. I don't quite understand it but that's what they tell us so I believe them.
