Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Review from Marketing Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They provide transparency for the recent changes that the executive team has gone through. They've been open with communications and our new software CEO sends weekly emails to catch us up on all events/happenings during the week for all departments.
Review from Marketing Dept
The leadership team is a collaborative and committed group. They all want the company to succeed, and are willing to be creative to propel their teams forward!
Review from Marketing Dept
I feel that my contributions are valued and appreciated.
They are a cohesive team that provides strategic direction and clarity to enable us to be competitive in the market.
Review from Marketing Dept
The leadership team is accessible and listens to the employees.
Review from Marketing Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication. Also take action on complaints. I often would voice complaints about something and it wouldn't go anywhere. Some of these complaints were pretty serious at times.
Actually get feedback and ideas from the people on the ground in the organization, rather than always pushing ideas top-down.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I feel that my compensation package was established to establish a long term commitment for KH and myself
Salary, bonus, and vacation policy
Review from Marketing Dept
KH drives to hire the best and they are willing to do what is necessary to hire and retain those people.
Flexible Hours
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
As an employee, I do not feel undervalued. I just wish our benefits were more competitive. I have never had such a high medical deductible to meet for my family working at previous jobs. But on the plus side, they do offer benefits!
Review from Marketing Dept
I was hired in on a lower salary, and each year I max out on compensation raises due to "percentage increase"
Review from Marketing Dept
Salary was way below market value for my role. Also, no one served as a mentor, i kind of felt i was a team of one. I also got put in precarious positions because work was thrown over the fence at me from other teams without any planning from them required.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The team I work on continues to empower and challenge me positively on a daily basis. My manager is a terrific mentor and provides any help or guidance I need to not only achieve my daily work objectives, but to also help propel my career. She has been invaluable to my learning.
Review from Marketing Dept
My immediate team is collaborative, smart, engaged, dedicated, and passionate about what they do. Some of the more legacy coworkers are less engaged and negative.
Review from Marketing Dept
We have top talent in key positions who work collaboratively to drive results.
Review from Marketing Dept
My team accepts differences and strives to succeed together. They are professionals who want their work family to be awesome and they actually care about one another.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Less meetings. Train individuals to only give information which is pertinent to the team. Lots of long meetings filled with information that is only intended for one or two people.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I feel that things are collaborative and my team is working together to help one another succeed.
We are very honest with one another and when one person struggles we try to work together to overcome the challenge. It's a very positive experience.
In the Portland office, the culture is very much a "software company" - it's relaxed, social, and a happy environment. In the Skokie office, the culture is more so a "consulting firm" and most people stay in their offices all day and it's a bit drab.
Review from Marketing Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Stop saying that the company doesn't hire jerks. Because it does, and there are many.
More focus on the people and the places we help, and less on the company.
What did you like most about the interview process?
I was hired a few years ago, and things have changed in the interview process since then... but I liked the ability to meet multiple people on my team instead of just the hiring manager; that way it was a good reflection of who I would work with day-to-day.
Review from Marketing Dept
it was very thorough and they knew what they were looking to find for the role
It was very thorough. They knew what they were looking for and brought forth all of the players to make certain they found the right person.
