Great benefits and flexibility, but poor management culture

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits were great although expensive. Lots of flexibility with your schedule for appointments. 2 days in office 3 days work from home. Good PTO and 401k was great.

Cons

There are a lot of great reasons to work for Kone but overall the environment isn't great. Management has their favorites so the employees that aren't within that circle are treated poorly to the point of quitting.

I work with great colleagues and have very supportive bosses. The company offers plenty of opportunities for career growth, along with a healthy work-life balance.

This is the first company I’ve worked at for over 10 years, and the cons are negligible.

Top notch products spoiled by bureaucratic organization

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively easy to sell quality product Technically advanced people easily available, if you know where to look Almost unlimited materials for learning

Cons

Bureaucratic organization, endless useless meetings. Non-existent meaningful trainings, some useless trainings. Decision-making is so distributed that everything takes forever. The process of releasing something is checked three times, but still amateur mistakes go through - raises a question why check, if nothing get checked, just box gets clicked. Seems fantastic on powerpoint, but doesn't work.
