Pros

Rubbing elbows with big names in industry, travel to NM

Cons

There are a number of people in this firm what are only using the company to climb the ladder and if you suck up to them or come their school….. you will be good. Zero qualifications and very dangerous way to conducting work. Unfortunately they fooled enough people to rise to management.

Pros

Benefits are very good. Some free lunch days. Not a terrible office/lab location, and decent on-site perks. Important mission and all that. Most non-management folks are pleasant to interact with, regardless of department.

Cons

I’d warn prospects to be wary of how they expect their work/life balance to be here at Kairos. It’s turbulent and stress filled, no matter your role. They’ve really been pushing “inclusion and support” as aspects of their company culture, but often give extreme workloads and passive aggressively criticize you or ignore you trying to bring up your concerns/issues. Upper management/HR leaders need a major reality check on what isn’t working. Seems like ignorance is bliss to a lot of these folks. Problems or delays are indirectly summed up to ‘personal deficit’ of an employee/team instead of really considering company pressures or constraints.. You’ll quickly be shoved out the door for any justifiable reason if you become a squeaky wheel, or don’t silently accept the piling of workloads. Really seems like they don’t respect employees setting reasonable work boundaries which is pretty sad.

Pros

Interesting mission, decent benefits, and average pay.

Cons

Passive aggressive culture, uneven work life balance, and questionable management. The company emphasizes an inclusive work culture as one of their core values but severely lacks in actually implementing one with any notable initiatives. Feedback that doesn't directly align with management will often be shot down, leading to an echo chamber of ideas that dissuade employees who think differently from contributing. Recognition for employee work is often underwhelming and unsatisfying. Salary and stock increases can often be inconsistent and are severely lacking, while additional bonuses like the Blueboard reward system are disappointing.
