base is relatively high compared to other HW companies in bay area, but TP is lower than others

Cons

no team culture very toxic, no learnings after stay here for 1 year. and managers lie when they hire you. mid-level managers are super micromanaging, they do not appreciate the work their employee did, instead put their own names on all credits

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
