Pros

- There's mutual agreement among management that skills can always be taught, but personality and work ethic are the traits that should be valued - Always opportunities to work with infrastructure equipment - The fast paced environment allows you to experience a wide range of issues - Skill and career growth not limited to technical roles, almost everyone in the company has a career path that is defined and supported by their manager - Transparency is commonplace, i've never had to shy away about asking important questions to anyone in the company - There are always opportunities to grown by leaps and bounds, but its all in the individual to put in the time and effort I hate to sound cliche but its literally a "Work Hard Play Hard" environment, everyone here is excellent at what they do because we put in the time and effort to be excellent. After all is said and done, we reward ourselves with a fully stocked fridge of food/snacks, a kegerator, and usually several bottles of whisky. We are proud to tout that we are a team of A-players and anyone less than is quickly weeded out and expelled. We are not elitist, we simply have a good equation for success and we stick to it as closely as possible.

Cons

- There will be days that you work 12-14 hours, but it is in an attempt to figure out how to solve problems that growth happens - Every company experiences growing pains and management will always have a hard time balancing company growth with employee growth - Work/life balance will be an issue here, management can and will help with this but ultimately you are expected to just figure it out for yourself ( AS WITH ANY OTHER COMPANY AND ROLE) - We're a 24/7 support team, on-call duties are shared by all technicians so expect to take a 3-day shift about every once a month

Pros

Kinetix thrives by defining their culture and core principles and implementing them every day. It is easy to be inspired to grow as an individual and learn quickly being in Kinetix. The leadership leads by example and truly cares about every individual. Kinetix feels like a family so it's easy to be yourself in their environment.

Cons

There haven't been many cons to add here. Kinetix has been great and continues to improve.

Pros

- Kinetix hires some of the best people I've ever met. - After work events are quite fun - Learn tech skills at a blazing pace - Bonuses were pretty hefty when I was there.. I've heard they've since disappeared though -Feedback is pretty transparent, though at times brutal, and the company is constantly working towards improving themselves

Cons

- Work/life balance heavily leans towards the work side. Very frequently had to work extra hours to get the job done. Did not feel like we were ever properly staffed due to 2 reasons: high churn and low headcount to begin with - Never been more stressed in my life than when I worked at Kinetix. Very high expectations are put on staff and you can be labeled as "unreliable" if you make too many mistakes. - Feedback often comes off as public shaming. Some higher management make it their life to call out every single problem that occurs publicly. Feedback is then dissected by the entire company - Management often spoke ill of employees who left afterward - Most people here are underpaid for the amount of work they do. CTO walks away with millions while the rest of the team have a hard time making rent. A large number of staff left to other MSPs and made 20k + more than what Kinetix offered -Employees get a sense of stockholm syndrome. They believe that they owe the company their lives due to the career opportunities the company presents, although the company gives little to no equity in return. - A very large sexual assault allegation went completely under the rug. Quite a few employees left the company afterwards because of it
