Kronos is overall a great place to work

Pros

Kronos is an extremely well run company and has been profitable year after year. There is a lot of opportunity to move within the company. Engineering uses the scrum/agile process. Much better than waterfall! Engineering offers "work from home" days twice a week. Engineering also has "Kronovation Days", allowing employees to innovate over a 1 - 3 day period. Engineering is moving to a newly renovated building in September 2012 - they are investing millions of dollars into the employees with this move. The new building will have state of the art technology in conference rooms as well as a fitness center. The company is driving change in the culture and values, for example, offering working from home and Kronovation Days. Engineering is now global, with offices in the US, Montreal, and Noida. The people at Kronos are wonderful - you will never find better co-workers at any other company. The founders of the company are visionary. Every employee has complete trust in Aron Ain. It can be a really fun place to work!

Cons

Over the past several years, Kronos has moved 40% of Engineering outside of the United States. The bar has been raised on performance, which overall is a good thing, but has resulted in terminations of some really great people. As a large company, Kronos suffers from many of the same issues other large companies have: communication can be lacking, there can be red tape, and process can trump progress.

Pros

The bonus structure makes up for the lower starting pay of most employees. I enjoy my direct leadership and the opportunities provided to build my skills

Cons

As Kronos Grows, there are process that need to be better defined to avoid the high number of customer esculations. Employee layoffs when we are already working to the max makes for a stressful work life balance.

Pros

Some employees are very good at what they do, and work very hard despite being under rewarded and under recognized. I think this is a benefit of having workers in their 50s and 60s - these workers have a stronger sense of loyalty and are less likely to "move on" than younger workers.

Cons

VP level management is very out of touch with reality on the ground. Lower level employees (thats me) are invited and do give feedback but it seems to be of no impact, making us think that they are not listening, not interested, or in denial. There's very little difference in how the best and worst employees are treated and paid. In a better economy, the good ones will leave because of frustration at being overworked and paid the same as an employee who everyone knows isn't trying as hard. The workforce in my area of the company is on average over 50. This is an area of the company with over 100 people in it. While this does give Kronos some positives, like experience and loyalty, it also means that we keep up with new trends in our industry much worse than some of our competitors who have more ambitious, younger and more curious workforces. We are also much less open to needed culture changes and tend to be very conservative on most issues. This frustrates the few younger employees we have, some of who are very good and very high potential. They can and do leave.
