Pros

Pay well generous time off benefits great they create excellent products that you can be proud of they pay for additional trainings and certifications

Cons

lack leadership, vision and direction most executives have only worked at KS and doesn't have the necessary experience to move the company forward its a low trust no communication environment that runs up and down the entire management chain unfortunately, its a fear based culture and you are not rewarded for doing what is right so no one rocks the 'status quo'

Pros

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Cons

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
