Pros

Ever hear the saying, if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room? Never a problem at Konrad. I learn something new every day and there is always someone around that can help you grow. Tons of fun events outside of work too. Catered lunches every Friday. Device plan. Beer on tap. Discounted BrainStation courses. Tons of variety with regards to projects and cutting edge technologies/equipment. Some of the brightest minds I've worked with.

Cons

Space is getting a little bit cramped due to growth but they seem to be working on that with reorgs. Things can get a little intense as it's a project based company and deadlines can be tight, no problem for me as it keeps things spicy.

Pros

- Konrad Group is growing quickly, and there is a real "energy" around the office. This helps foster a fun, lighthearted culture. - There are certainly perks, as many other reviews have noted. Not all of these appeal to everyone, but there seems to be something for most people. - The average age is quite young, contributing to the office's energy and culture. - The work can be quite cutting-edge and exciting. - The Toronto office is extremely well located, with lots going on nearby.

Cons

- Little to no professional development, mentorship, or guidance from mid-senior level leaders. - Management and leadership often fail to admit when they are wrong, or defer blame (to employees, clients, other firms). This is not just certain individuals, but seems to almost be a part of the culture at Konrad Group. - Much of senior leadership has no formal managerial training. - Very little strategic information is disseminated from management down to employees, many of whom care or want to know what the group as a whole is working towards. This can be confusing for employees, who can feel "left in the dark," and gives an impression that not even management knows. - There is no HR system in place. There is absolutely no-one you can go to with concerns or for advice who isn't tied to either your direct supervisor or leadership. - There is also no formal review process. If you want feedback or a formal review, you need to ask for it. Employees are told of "6 month check-ins", but it's up to you to put time on your manager's calendar, or be surprised when you're invited into a room with little to no time to prepare. - Compensation is below industry standards for business-side employees, and at or below industry standards for other employees. - There is no performance-based compensation (bonus, etc.). - Worth noting: The subsidized gym membership mentioned in other reviews will cost you $60-$70 / month.
