KGI puts on a good front, but culture is ruined from the top
|
|
There are so many genuinely wonderful colleagues and fantastically talented people at Kinney Group. Core values are front and center, and colleague recognition is frequent and prompt. Technical colleagues (engineers) have ample opportunity to grow and develop their skills through advanced training initiatives.
|
The emphasis on culture and colleague support is meaningless because it is ultimately negated by leadership. With the exception of one VP who is constantly spoken over and undervalued, the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is composed of white men whose leadership philosophies are twenty years out of date. Entry-level colleagues, women, and people of color at KGI were constantly disrespected by the CEO, who lacks a basic understanding of and appreciation for certain parts of the business. The facade of investing in colleagues is there, but KGI will never be a truly great place to work until ELT commits to a long-term, effective leadership philosophy, updates their outlook on diversity and inclusion, and values colleagues as individuals who shape the company rather than detractors from a bottom line. I don't know if those changes can take place under current leadership.

Start actually seeing your colleagues as valuable contributors rather than expendable—your reputation as an employer will continue to suffer as long as ELT retains stale, outdated workplace philosophies. Real investments need to be in the form of meaningful mentorship, consistent support, tangible dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and REAL transparency. The high level of colleague turnover, especially in sales, is due to leadership issues that create untenable workplace situations. ELT (especially the CEO) must rethink the way they manage; until that happens, KGI will perpetuate a work environment that is at best dysfunctional and at worst toxic.

If it's to develop your career, Kinney Group will be an enticing option. If it's for the money, not so much.
|
|
They definitely invest good money into training. When I worked here, there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't learn something.
Free drinks and snacks and a great kitchen
You get to work on some pretty cool projects with great people.
Very smart people around you
Benefits are pretty good
|
You can make more money doing the same job easily somewhere else.
You'll find yourself wearing multiple hats and juggling different tasks quite often.
Can be a very stressful environment with the constant overflow of work.

Keep investing in training. It's by far your best quality.
Make sure you're staying as competitive as possible in the market for compensation. It's great that you develop your people and the great perks that you offer your employees, but a stressful work environment + below average pay will trump this every time.

Too many directional changes with the organization.

Best of luck to the departed!

Keeping with the most common liked aspect of the company: snacks and free lunch Friday!
|
-poor reputation in Indianapolis. "Own 317" will never come to fruition. Arrogant and a "what have you done for me" CEO
-irresponsible spending of VC funds. If getting these funds was to put gas in the tank and to propel growth, why were people let go and ALL tenured employees are leaving?
-not truthful in the interview process

Be honest. This is also a common theme for those who have left truthful feedback. The rainbow and butterfly reviews aren't boosting your public perception, it just seems pathetic. The philosophy of "my name is on the door" and "subscribing to..." is not motivating, nor is it cultivating a culture that allows free, entrepreneurial minds to be successful. ELT, how long will you continue to run interference and try to mitigate damage to internal and external customers?
Thank you though Kinney Group. Thank you for the tools to excel our skills/expertise in our given fields. Thank you for giving us insight to red flags to look for with other companies. And most importantly, thank you for making "us" more valuable to our new employers.

Great working environment
|
|
Colleague support is excellent, you're working in a room full of dedicated professionals. Internal training is robust, it is a core tenant to ensure everyone is capable and comfortable with their work load.
Competitive compensation
|
Upper management occasionally struggles to clearly communicate intent which can lead to confusion/angst. This is a known issue that is being actively worked on.
