Pros

Pros are free lunches and oftentimes irritating noises from colleagues playing Table Tennis in the cramped office and getting disturbed by lousy players with balls flying to your table, but seriously all these “perks” do NOT matter.

Cons

I think people who wrote positive reviews about this company are male chauvinists or people whom the bias HR people “admire” and who think management is on their side despite being office slackers, thinking too highly of themselves (read: intelligent, not!), bootlickers and pulling strings to get where they want to go.

Pros

The culture at Adknowledge is unlike any place I have worked in Kansas City. We really embody the phrase "work hard, play hard". There is a contagious energy in the office - everyone strives to come up with better ideas and more innovative strategies than we did the day before. Our industry is always changing, forcing us to adapt with it. No two work days are the same for this reason, which makes coming to work every day much more enjoyable. Employee are rewarded for hard work with tons of perks, like a casual dress code, catered lunches, free soda machines and Starbucks coffee. It is not uncommon to find people shooting pool, playing darts or engaging in a fierce game in the break room throughout the day.

Cons

There are a lot of opportunities to move and change positions throughout the company and to other office locations, but there is somewhat limited opportunity for upward career advancement. Senior management and leadership roles do not become available very often.
