Pros

Each office is different, but for the most part it is a very relaxed environment compared to other elevator companies. There are some great people within the organization.

Cons

They don't ever set a career path out, you have to figure it out yourself. They like to hire externally and consider it poaching if a manager with an opening calls an employee without them formally applying. They have a poor district office set up, and a lack of management if you aren't in a branch office.

Very warming and welcoming places to work amongst the employees, wish the same could be said for senior management.

Pros

Kone provides a great slate of benefits to their employees and everyone is very friendly. Provide ample time off for vacation and employees needing to take time off for personal family issues and everyday life things.

Cons

Management seems to keep everyone in a constant guessing game as to which directions things are going within their own departments which is very disappointing.
