Pros

Great technology given at on-boarding for desk set-up.

Cons

Anyone that is not a cis-het male has little to no opportunity to contribute strategy at the higher level. This reality is compounded if that strategy is dissenting, counter-normative, or innovative in any way. KT relies heavily on observing competitor decision-making and duplicating those efforts. KT chooses not to study customer insights or conduct user research. This has not proven to be successful.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
