Pros

Cool industry. It has been growing quickly and the forecast show that the pie is only going to get bigger. There are some really good people at KORE. The only problem is that they probably aren't going to last.

Cons

KORE's growth has been through acquisition. For an industry that is growing as fast as it is, the company's growth does not match. The 2G shutdown and the race to zero on data prices, have hurt the revenue growth. There is definitely an old boys network feel at KORE. The employees that stayed on after the last couple acquisitions are not valued or respected as much as legacy KORE employees. This has caused a huge culture clash and led to poor employee morale. There have been many, many, many broken promises. Favorites are never held accountable for their lack of performance and people are put in positions they have no business being in. All decisions by leadership are made with the thought of maximizing their shares as quickly as possible, with little thought to the long term. Sales is pushed to chase deals to get revenue, rather than having any sort of strategic approach to the type of customers the company would want to have, and the products that the company should sell. Just about every deal is a one off, leading to no standardization of products or pricing. Sales leadership manages on a culture of fear. There is a reason that sales leadership has the particular image it has in the industry.

Pros

They have been going thru rounds of layoffs since 2024. Management thinks problem is the labor cost when its actually the debt it incurred during its acquisition spree after COVID. Liabilities make over 93% of its total assets, parking it as Goodwill on their balance sheet. So what does it mean for you if you work for KORE or join it? Expect continued rounds of layoffs. Expect no pay raises. Expect to pick up work of your former coworkers who were let go. They will pay you 40~50% below (down)market rate. If you do not have a job and are offered a position, take it but know that this is not a stable workplace & that you're reporting to a fearful clueless mid-management.

Cons

- Pay - Financial Condition - Zero vision
