Pros

Paychecks and benefits are good, and new hires are beneficial because they don't know the company's history; however, long-term employees, more than 5 years, might have lower motivation and be more focused on preserving the lazy, happy, no-accountability culture and office politics.

Cons

Executives and managers are often chosen for leadership roles based on personal relationships, favoritism, or superficial qualities like "culture fit" or whether or not they look or sound the part. The work history of senior leaders shows that friends and allies are chosen over those with the necessary skills to make a difference in those roles. Communication is often limited, controlled, or manipulated in Kensho. Feedback going up the hierarchy is discouraged or ignored. Many people are afraid to speak their minds, and leaders do not listen to the perspectives of lower-level team members. They are actively discouraged from giving the executives any feedback that can be perceived as negative. Failures and mistakes are covered up from the middle manager to the C-level, and the entire company avoids discussing how to improve because Kensho is perfect. Certain project teams are overwhelmed by fear, stress, and anxiety, and there is a constant sense of doom. This is because senior leaders in Engineering and C-level respond to the problems they themselves created via bad strategies by making the rest of the team clean up the mess. Avoid it if you are ambitious.
