Pros
- Kinetix hires some of the best people I've ever met.
- After work events are quite fun
- Learn tech skills at a blazing pace
- Bonuses were pretty hefty when I was there.. I've heard they've since disappeared though
-Feedback is pretty transparent, though at times brutal, and the company is constantly working towards improving themselves
Cons
- Work/life balance heavily leans towards the work side. Very frequently had to work extra hours to get the job done. Did not feel like we were ever properly staffed due to 2 reasons: high churn and low headcount to begin with
- Never been more stressed in my life than when I worked at Kinetix. Very high expectations are put on staff and you can be labeled as "unreliable" if you make too many mistakes.
- Feedback often comes off as public shaming. Some higher management make it their life to call out every single problem that occurs publicly. Feedback is then dissected by the entire company
- Management often spoke ill of employees who left afterward
- Most people here are underpaid for the amount of work they do. CTO walks away with millions while the rest of the team have a hard time making rent. A large number of staff left to other MSPs and made 20k + more than what Kinetix offered
-Employees get a sense of stockholm syndrome. They believe that they owe the company their lives due to the career opportunities the company presents, although the company gives little to no equity in return.
- A very large sexual assault allegation went completely under the rug. Quite a few employees left the company afterwards because of it
