Pros

Office environment is pretty laid back for the most part.

Cons

Management philosophy is strange. Not very good at promoting from within. If you are applying to this company, and have experience it will probably look golden.

Employee Focused But in Need of Balance

Business Outlook

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.
