Human Kinetics Reviews

There was a lot of back stabbing in this company, but I think the thing I disliked the most was their distrust of employees. There was a wide range of distrust, and I understand that the HR department was at one point instructed to spy on employees. Upper management never gave the impression of having faith in any of the lower level employees and the overall atmosphere was tense. I've known MANY employees (both former and current) who were written up for something either made up or taken out of context and I believe they used this as a scare tactic to keep employees in line. While there, I saw multiple employees get forced out of the company because one person (usually the same person) didn't like them and made it a mission to remove them from the company.

Their technology is disconnected. The systems don't talk to each other and it causes confusion and a LOT of extra work. Upper management folks often have ego issues and look the other way when employees try to bring significant problems to their attention. A lot of incompetent people in leadership. They try to promote from within, but the people are often not skilled at managing people in a positive way.
