Pros

KP has good work life balance. My department is very supportive to take the time during the day to attend appointments or field trips. So long as everything you’re accountable for is taken care of.

Cons

There are busy seasons and for some departments, they are chronically understaffed given the responsibility of their team.

Pros

Free health care for you and your family. WLB. Job security, unless you're a contractor. Overall culture is extremely supportive and inclusive.

Cons

Extremely low pay. A pro was the free health care but just about any decent paying tech company would already pay you enough for you to pay for a decent health care plan. Software is second class. Mediocrity. Culture of temp fixes everywhere because contractors know they will be rotated out every few years. All good engineers I've worked with left pretty quickly.
