Pros

Might be ok if you're not in finance. There are some really great people you'll work with, if upper management doesn't scare them away.

Cons

Don't expect any of the perks that everyone is promised. Work life balance is lacking and upper management is more than happy to take away any perks like flex Fridays or telecommuting if they feel like it. Meanwhile upper management will take their vacation while you work yourself into an early grave.

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. We certainly acknowledge that the Finance team has gone through a lot of transitions and integration work over the last year that impacted the ability for employees to enjoy all of their flex time or other perks. Most employees are able to enjoy these benefits and we are working to make sure that everyone is able to participate this coming year. Mike

Pros

In 3+ years with the company, I've gained great experience. People were great. Casual, collaborative environment to develop skills. Some teams and managers more flexible than others. Summer hours and additional week of PTO during the holidays.

Cons

Another recent restructuring of the company with another layoff. 5 layoffs during my tenure, which leaves you constantly wondering if you're next. In the last 3 years I lost a lot of respect for the leadership and their vision and direction for the company. Not all the blame can be placed on leadership, however, with the industry facing significant challenges. Typically paid well below market average and in comparison to other local agencies. Things might get better in Lenexa but you can never be sure since you've heard it before.

Not going to sugar coat this the company has gone through a lot of changes the past three years. And I agree the industry is facing many challenges. As you mentioned we have had two divisions held under the same corporate entity. We have split these businesses into two distinct entities, integrated marketing/inquiry generation and Online Program Management (OPM). We are hopeful this gives each entity the ability to focus on their respective markets since they both cater to a different focus area. Thanks for the comments Steve

Apply, but don't expect much

Pros

The people, the casual environment, and the fact you can get a ton of good experience and wear a lot of different hats are all pros. I loved that Keypath let me experiement with some different roles and get some good experience. I would say to anyone considering a career here to apply, get a paycheck, but focus on building your skill set and keep an ear out for any additional opportunities. The best way I could describe the place is that it's a good 'first job' or a decent place to work if you just need a paycheck, but keep in mind that despite how nice the people in Lenexa are, to the staff in Chicago you're just another number and can be thrown out at anytime.

Cons

Impossible profit targets, chronic understaffing combined with layoffs and then hiring blitzes. Doesn't seem to be a clear business strategy. Prepare to work a lot and not expect much help in the form of additional team members, and when you do get them, they will nearly always be 22 year olds out of college with no experience, so you'll have to train them on top of your job.
