Positive Reviews From 2K Employees

  • What do you like best about the leadership team?
    They are engaged and genuine.
  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    I loved that I got to demonstrate my actual skills instead of being judged solely on previous job experience
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    Feeling like I can talk to anyone, like if the CEO walked in I could chat to him and it would be considered normal. I really like the flat structure.

Constructive Feedback From 2K Employees

  • What would you most like to see improved at your company?
    More modernization. I feel that the company can sometimes remain stuck in old ways.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I lost money due to the Zanga purchase. Im young and starting out new with stocks and sad to see my money disappear overnight.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    The company needs to research the current market. They need to match it or exceed it. If you invest in your people now, you will not have to worry about losing them later.
