Pros

Compensation is competitive at the outset, and the benefits package is solid relative to others in the field.

Cons

Chronic instability, frequent leadership turnover, constant restructuring, and unrealistic expectations driven by leaders disconnected from day-to-day operations. Processes change regularly without proper training, decisions are slowed by excessive oversight and approvals, and a culture of overpromising creates ongoing operational fallout for onsite teams.

Great company, excellent benefits good people to work with. Very motivated people. Good opportunities for advancement if you work hard.

Cons

Can be a lot of work as it is a start up type of environment with lots of expansion. Totally manageable though.

Pros

Remote work, most colleagues are cool

Cons

Like most companies, Kasa seems like a "fast-paced environment," but it's largely just barely organized chaos. We hop from one crisis to another with no time to regroup. The company goes from periods of "we made it!" to freefall multiple times a year. We recently absorbed a competitor and that was nothing short of chaotic. Absorbed employees never knew if they were safe, one person was assigned to a new team and new manager, given projects and a roadmap, and 24 hours later she was terminated. Senior leadership all have degrees from fancy schools but have no real clue of the problems faced by entry level. I've heard "just fix it" so many times over the years, but each time we "Just fix it" someone is extremely unhappy about how it was fixed. No real growth or significant conversation, just more responsibility disguised as promotions.
