Pros

Good learning experience No shortage of work Colleges are nice and friendly

Cons

Why choose Kenandy over 100's of successful, upbeat, and exciting companies in the Bay Area? -The product is a beast, hard to use/ navigate. -Overall bad software. Lacks a UI/UX and is not as competitive in the market as leaders will try to tell you -Low salary/ compensation package. -Very stubborn product management/ leadership. -No Silicon Valley pre ipo tech company perks. -Office space is very depressing, bland white walls, no company swag/pride -Low morale, I don't think I have ever worked at a company that has such a low morale amongst employees. Almost every employee does not see Kenandy as a long term career option. - Weak executive team/ leaders. - Company is performing poorly, no big name sales deals, I was legitimately scared of this company going under during my tenure.

Pros

Enduring battery duration Superb camera quality, even in low light Smooth plan and lightweight

Cons

1. Battery depletes quick, overrated, and slacks during use. 2. Slow pacing, frail plot, and immature characters. 3. Small segments, costly, and unfortunate help quality. 4. Buggy ongoing interaction, dull levels, and constrained microtransactions.

Pros

not a whole lot there at end. They fired sales leadership and Sales engineering leadership, which made everybody really happy, but ultimately it didnt matter.

Cons

Was a pretty cool place to work until, contrary to what he said in the news, Pat, the CEO of Rootstock, bought us, and fired almost everybody the next day. Particularly how it was handled. They would bring an entire group in to a conference room, call a few names, and tell those people they were safe and could go back to work. Once those few lucky folks left the room, they would tell the rest of the people they were fired and hand them a blue folder. People with pending visa statuses had to leave the country, there was no notice, because during the companywide announcement held a couple weeks before, we were told that Rootstock thought we had such a strong team that they were going to keep everybody, and nothing would change. Our HR people were crying as they had to fire everybody on the spot in such a cruel way. Their final checks were held hostage if they did not agree to do all the firing so Rootstock didnt look bad. I think this shows not only a lack of compassion for peoples livelihood, but also a true testament to how woefully inexperienced and unprofessional the team over at Rootstock is. We all ready the articles the next day where the CEO of Rootstock talked about how excited he was to bring Kenandy into the fold and work with such an amazing team. He then when on to talk about how he really didnt have to let anyone go because of how great we were. This was obviously a ridiculous lie. So that was kind of a bummer.
