Pros

Flexible work schedule, work life balance, active people that engage in lots of sports, great 1st level managers, coworkers are brilliant and fun to work with

Cons

The only way to get a promotion or a really good raise is to move to another position within the company. For the type of engineering I do I know I should be getting paid about 20% more. We used to get a 10% variable pay but the management changed the formula so that for the past 5 years it's been around 2%. They are constantly cutting costs, I wish worked for a company that was growing and adding value instead of always taking away more from employees.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
