Pros
Some of the people are great individuals and make working for the company easy on the hard days.
Cons
Advancement is limited unless you’re part of the “inner circle.” There is a clear lack of effort to build a workforce that reflects London’s diversity and there is huge bias. Just look at their public posts and you will see little to no diversification. Unsurprisingly, it remains a serious problem to this day. The HR function has been incredibly poor for over a year, especially when they have such limited practical experience in their HR function. While there are some great individuals at Kitt, overall talent density compared to output is low. The company leans heavily on a handful of key players, giving them inflated salary increases to keep them from leaving rather than fairly rewarding hard work across the board. The most junior staff work tirelessly but receive little in return compared to the higher earners. There has been little real investment in building a positive culture. It is not about free drinks, it is about creating genuine shared experiences. Any attempts to shape company culture do not stick because the people driving them rarely stay long enough to make an impact. Even internally, people have been saying the culture has been in decline for months. The recent surge in cheerful social media posts feels manufactured.
