Pros

The company has great legacy and comes with strong culture and work ethics. People are respectful and extend themselves to accommodate time differences.

Cons

Salary falls very short of other companies in Bay Area almost 30-40% lower. It has been a dampener for last few years leading to high attrition rates. Many employees are stuck at same level for decades and management has no clue to promote or grow them in their role. More work and no pay hike. Only select employees gets recognition or career growth and most of the jobs are off shored and only people at offshore are well compensated.

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.
