On the right track, most of the time

Pros

Good work-life balance, and opportunities to make an impact anywhere in the organization. Product development and sales seem to be on a positive track, but are hampered by a haywire organization. Kensington is a lean organization that manages to move product development at a rapid pace. An improving product portfolio and long-term partnerships with major brands.

Cons

Little or no emphasis on employee development, and middle management struggles to think long-term. Even as sales makes modest improvements, many decisions are based on meeting rushed and semi-arbitrary goals, which causes unnecessary urgency and churn on small projects. Half (!) of the organization has titles of "Manager" or above, but they can struggle to manage their own responsibilities (and don't have reporting employees). High health insurance plan costs, which can be partly offset through employee wellness programs.

Pros

People, dynamic work, inclusion. My time was filled with a feeling of doing a job that makes a difference. The people I worked with were top notch.

Cons

When the company was smaller, it had a start-up feel to it even though it was part of a larger organization. As the company grew, that feel tended to not be as great.
