Cultural Battle - Anonymous employee KAI Research Employee Review

Nice co-workers! Really appreciate your hard work!

Wear a lot of hats; not enough people to cover the workload

Personal Offices. Some people are nice, professional but they are only few, can count on my one hand.

I would not recommend this place even to my worst enemy. Manager is professional and micromanages. Doesn’t know nothing in Project Management but wants to book her time with 1:1s. When asked for guidance, the manager sends to other line managers. Because every minute needs to be documented, my manager who managed others, while having no studies on her own, would “book” her day by scheduling 1:1. The health coverage kicks in only after 45 days!!! 401K kicks in only after 90 days!!! Unheard of! but this is the essence of KAI. I was recruited right before Xmas holidays and was not allowed to work from home a single day first 90 days! While no one was in the office, I have to commute for about 3 hours daily just to clock in and out, read SOPs and worked on some paperwork from empty office when I could successfully do it from home. Terrible leadership! HR lies pretty much about everything. I was told, the company is very busy with a lot going on: I had to “share” my project with another 2 people. I was told I will line manage junior team mates, never happened. In a span of 50 days, two people (of the same level as me) left the company. BIG RED FLAG! Sour taste in the mouth after horrible unprofessional experience at KAI.
