Pros

Lots of opportunity for mentorship. Well defined and stable product base/customers. Nice locations to live and raise a family. Some interesting projects.

Cons

Insular community culture, lead by disconnected middle management. Intentionally pay below market value. Over focus on M&A has lead to fragmentation and silos. Most who could mentor are too overloaded to do so. Retirement wave is irreplaceable, given timeline.

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.
