Pros

KONE pays well. In fact they have the top payouts in the industry. The benifits are very good as they even have pensions. I would reccommend this

Cons

Just like any career; long hours and stressful situations will be around the corner. But, KONE offers many solutions for this. Insurance pays for messages as well as stress reduction.

Pros

Compensation is typically more than what you will ask for. Sick time and vacation time is generous as well as personal day. Good benefits and yearly health evaluation (at Headquarters)

Cons

I worked in their law department. My supervisor had favorites that she would let "slide" time off, lateness, long lunches and over used sick time. Others (me) were held to tougher standards or were not allowed any slack at all. It was well known that if this supervisor didn't like you she would find a way to get you to quit or eliminate your position. Which is what happened to me - my position was "eliminated."

Good culture, very lean

Pros

- Culture/colleagues - KONE feels like a second family, in a positive way! The support and kindness of so many coworkers is great. - Opportunity to grow - this is also a positive environment to own your career and grow the skills you want. You're allowed to make mistakes and learn from them too.

Cons

KONE has been very big on running "lean." After recent rounds of cutting resources, workloads can be tough. Stress can be high in certain teams as many processes are still overcomplicated with less resources and clunky tools to get work done.
