      Pros

      The culture is incredible. They care about their employees and it shows in how they do things. Opportunities are plentiful and KONE doesn't seem to mind spending money to develop people. This isn't like any place else that I have worked.

      Cons

      It is a big company and sometimes decisions are made at the top without an understanding of how it affects at the Branch level.

      Employee Focused But in Need of Balance

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      As an organization KONE is very focused on its employees and tries to make the right decisions in support of their employees. Will try and provide the appropriate tools and processes to aid employees in doing their work as well as providing development opportunities.

      Cons

      Even though KONE is a global company, they run extremely lean and in many ways run it like a small company. Sr. Leadership is hyper focused on fixed cost and management of headcount across the organization. There seems to be a check the box mentality when it comes to staff functions pushing initiatives and failing to see impact on the front line business. Better balance between coporate initiatives and running the day-to-day business is needed.
