KSI in Goleta

Pros

As in most larger companies, one's work conditions are highly dependent on role, boss, and branch. This review is for KSI in Goleta. Those in experienced mid-to-senior roles all seem engaged and there are many lifers across the board. I've been here over a year and met many of the technical managers and engineers; from my view, it seems turnover is very low. Lots of interesting problems to solve every day and a culture that encourages self growth and recognizes high achievers.

Cons

Not a con, but a challenge: tech folks/managements collaborate with European (German) colleagues, who may see things differently. Expect the imperative case in many emails: not because of intent or tone, but mainly it's just simpler to write that way for non-native English speakers. If you're coming from the consumer electronics industry, it's a different culture and more methodical pace that what you may be used to. Again, not a con per se, just an adjustment for me. Not KSI's fault, but high local real-estate costs really shrinks the paycheck. Some folks bus in or drive 1+ hour commutes. This applies to most business in the Goleta/SB area.
