      A dystopia of mediocrity with great perks

      Pros

      The vacation benefits here rapidly accumulated while I was there at like a day and a half a month. Its easy to schedule in the time you want off and this doesn't account for the personal and sick days. With all factored in its possible to take 5 weeks off a year. The health benefits are practically free. Scheduling the checkups can be done through the member website without a phone call. Socially, the large employee base makes it easy to find friends and the diversity within the organization is world-class. Also, working here is different from a typical agency where deadlines are back-to-back as projects generally have fairly long release cycles.

      Cons

      The good things about working here can be a double-edged sword. Interpersonal relationships and friendships sometimes get in the way of a project progressing. The time allocated for most projects helps to smooth over this issue by making plenty of slack for lack of productivity caused by "people" problems. Most solutions to organization and communication problems are solved by very round-about indirect means (kludge) by management which married the organization to the kludges of past as time went on. So after a year or two a "solution" would require its own set of resources full-time. It is frustrating for a detailed person who is keen on progress and communication to overlook this for an extended period of time.

      Prepare to work hard and long hours if you work in KP-IT

      It project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, and knowledge of employee staff. If you work for KP-IT, prepare to work hard and off hours if necessary. Tools and software are pretty current as KP does spend money on the latest technologies.

      Cons

      Morale. Senior management has constant re-org's and some ppl have to re-interview of their jobs. Senior management also schedules major releases around the holidays, and advises employees not to take any time off during the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and etc). Most of the talented ppl work for a few years and end up leaving as a result of senior management not keeping the employees happy.
