Pros

Intelligent and fun colleagues, leadership and environment. Most employees are quite experienced, so focused on the work and not necessarily 'getting ahead' - which is fantastic for team camaraderie. People are constantly learning and helping each other learn and improve. Office atmosphere is relaxed - there's foosball, mini basketball, mini hockey, pretty much anything you need to have a quick five minute break with a colleague. There are monthly team outings around the city, team lunch on Fridays, and a generally warm and inviting attitude. Friday afternoons we have demos and beers, and many stay on to hang out and game. Hours are fairly flexible, as is working from home when necessary.

Cons

Because projects have quick turnaround times, there can be very heavy periods of work, followed by light periods. You'll do well at Kinetic if you're a self-starter and are personally motivated. Management style is not hand holding, so it's not for everyone.

Pros

- Compensation I feel reasonably compensated for the work I do. - Flexibility Kinetic offers 365 work-from-home-days, and basically the same amount of sick days. It's nice to be treated like an adult when it comes to taking care of your health. - Increasing Community/Morale There's been a push lately to encourage a stronger sense of community, and bolster morale, which has had success. -OK Benefits Reasonable coverage. - Human Upper Management The management is in the trenches, and are very accessible. They're very welcoming, and willing to engage on a personal level. - People The people are really great. All the teams are fantastic, and great to work with.

Cons

- Communication & Transparency Often it feels like the employees are the last to know about changes that affect them. - Low Morale The nature of startups is there are ebbs and flows. Right now Kinetic is trying to create a sustainable plan for their financial future which, paired with poor communication, has negatively impacted morale. - Long Hours Given the nature of the business, occasionally (and much more frequently in the past) to meet tight deadlines, teams have had to stay very late, work weekends, etc. Efforts have been made to reduce this, but it's definitely a part of the package. - No Investment Options No RRSP matching, or stock options presently available.
