Pros

- If you feel excited by all kinds of work place awards and all the marketing around that then this company is right for you

Cons

- Many employees are very disappointed in the recent changes to employee benefits - Company is now charging employees a $1000 surcharge for benefits a year to cover for their spouses - Basically the company is penalizing employees who elect insurance if their spouses can get insurance from their own workplace - Just not fair, other companies actually reward employees if they don't elect insurance.. but here they seem to want the $$'s

Where engineering careers go to die.

Pros

Pay is marginally adequate. The new building is nice. Free coffee. Here are more words to meet the minimum and there is nothing else good about this place.

Cons

Kronos gets listed as a "great place to work" which I think is largely true for the rest of the company. They know how to operate and keep the company profitable despite the incompetence and repeated mistakes from engineering. There is no such thing as "operational improvement" in engineering. There is no discipline, no accountability and barely any process. They are using a proto-agile methodology (implemented in the mid 2000s and relatively untouched). To give you a sense, we never talk about velocity, only capacity. "Retrospectives" are just meetings where people talk. No actions are documented, and there certainly isn't any follow up. I've been here for a few years and nothing has gotten better. I have personally tried multiple initiatives to get things to improve, but nobody cares. Product quality continues to be embarrassing. Only reason I'm still here is for my bonus in December. Then I'm done. This place is hopeless.

Pros

Pay is good. Co-workers. Benefits. Free food. Discount to various things. 401k. That's really about it when it comes to the pros, but in my opinion these don't out weigh the cons.

Cons

Very long hours. Managers that have never been on the phones before. Managers that don't even know the product. Training provided is very backwards. No floor support available when you get thrown on the phones.
