Pros

I joined kony 2011. Being a fresher I enjoyed working on kony tool. Its easy. But that's a trap. In kony you will learn nothing. If you change switch Kony then you realise this. I am facing this after working 3 and half year. It was my blunder and I advise you not to repeat just like me. They will make you work on their rotten tool. Which does not even follow proper MVC architecture. Please don't look for money if you are fresher. Join kony if you don't have other option. After joining just start preparing for other companies preferably startups.

Cons

1. Kony tools sucks. Its just a gcd of all the mobile os and spa frameworks. Native application development gives lots of flexibility and control. Working with native android and iOS you will learn lots of things but in kony you will learn nothing. Here you only have to call kony apis. So no learning. 2. HR guys are worst. They are there just to making noise in lunch area. After my resignation as per procedure they should have conducted some exit interview they don't. They does not care about employee. They are the worst team and people in kony. You can never expect any hr related work on time. 3. No career development plan and advise. For kony you are just worker nothing else. They will never talk and think about you future growth. 4. Hike is myth in kony and it's full of politics. If you like licking HR and Manager then its good.

Pros

The employees are great. Most people are very smart and passionate about what they do. In the time I was there I never had any problem working with anyone in the company. Always someone to go to lunch with and lots of staff drinks after work (mostly organized by staff and not management) Good flexibility for work-life balance...for some people

Cons

- Disorganized. - Not diverse. - No support for career advancement/training/certification/education - Totally inconsistent with a lack of focus. Strategic direction seems to change every 6 months and it never makes complete sense. - Leadership is tone deaf to the market and is not willing to adapt. Stubbornness is why nothing is selling and the company is falling apart. - Top Leadership doesn't engage with employees unless they feel like they have to. - HR is beyond useless and gossips about EVERYONE. There is no confidentiality in HR. - Lots of recent turnover with long time employees because of messed up operations and managers egos. - LOTS of people have left to go work for the founder of Kony at his new company, or they left to go back to their old jobs. - TERRIBLE operations. Travel policy is crazy!!! Some people can't afford to come out of pocekt and be reimbursed for almost everything. $7k in expenses for travel is ridiculous!
