How are the career development opportunities at Kognity?

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and balanced review. We hear it, both the good and the ugly, and we genuinely appreciate it! I agree on the care people have at Kognity. Not just for the product but for the impact we want to create, and for each other. This is something I personally appreciate a lot. The willingness to try new things and embrace new technologies, as you bring up, are exactly what we want to keep building on. That's the Kognity we believe in, and it reflects a team that shows up with heart. There’s no denying that 2025 was a year of significant change where we did a full company pivot towards an AI led product building, and product experience approach. This for sure shifted many things around, including teams and roles, and touched every team. I know it came with real costs, including an intense transition and a pace of change that isn't always easy to absorb. Some of that will likely always exist at Kognity, given our ambition and the speed of the market, but reading your thoughts we clearly also need to be better at how we communicate around it, and how we can create as much clarity as possible also in transition periods. On compensation, I'd gently at least open a question mark. All benchmark data we’ve been able to find (where we use multiple sources) show that we are aligned with the market across roles at Kognity. This aligns with talent density being our #1 priority. I can, of course, not comment on individual cases, but this is our ambition and what all data we've found tells us. I'd encourage anyone with concerns to raise them directly with their leader, People & Culture, or me. Finally for leadership development, we're investing in this through recurring leadership development sessions, dedicated resources to support them, and a strong people operations presence alongside them and are always working to improve this. We're also working on clearer communication and sharpening where decisions get made. Anyways thank you again for taking the time to share feedback, interesting read and it helps us improve! Best, Hugo
