Pros

- KR offers a lot of freedom to work on and learn what you want. However, you need to be self motivated to get the most out of it There are some great teams and awesome individuals who really want to make a difference in the DoD. Sadly, KR has lost its way after growing rapidly last year. It's now very difficult to influence change and make the same impact that you could just 2 years ago.

Cons

- High turnover - Reliance on a few key individuals to carry the whole operation, many of whom have left at this point - The org tends to over promise and under deliver - Air Force bureaucracy without enough organization to smoothly manage it - Leadership is out of touch with those working on the ground
