Pros

Money was decent for the industry

Cons

I was promised the opportunity to work with a lot of different things; never materialized. I feel like my skillset didn't grow at all during my time at Known, even though I was constantly looking for chances to learn. All upper management is male; women get stuck in middle management and then never get promoted. Work-life balance is non-existent; when I left "on time" it was really bad optics, and I'm sure was a factor in reviews, even though not explicitly stated. Upper management talked a huge game about growth, then had 4-5 rounds of layoffs, without any communication to the teams about what was going on. Perks were not given equally to all offices. My reason for being let go was officially "not enough work" but there were several projects in the pipeline, and several in process that were already understaffed. I feel sorry for my co-workers who had to take up the slack.

Pros

Unlimited vacation Vacation bonuses Free food in the offices

Cons

You’ll have too much work to take vacation or to be able to use the vacation bonus. While free food in the office is great, it seems like a misuse of funds. Lots of layoffs due to financial issues but still giving out lunches and sending execs on trips.
