Kinetic Commerce Reviews

Bad salaries, under market value Bad benefits, and you have to pay for 40% Theres somewhat lack of management, the least Ive seen in any Company I've worked on though I haven't worked here long enough, but I hear there are no salary increases, you would actually get promoted and you wouldn't get a salary increase There are a few, and I mean it, it's only a few employees, that aren't as talented as the rest, nor they care about the company, and while management knows about it, doesn't do anything and so you are stuck working with them High turn-over There is some back and forth on decisions, that's to expect on startups though I guess Somewhat disorganized, there is a lot of movement in terms of the position everyone holds and the project they work on, I think this is temporary, and management is trying to figure this out Small office, and the location could be better I think, and this is my perception, that the talent in the company has decreased, very talented people have left, and not as talented people have joined the company. Not so much investment in their employees, like company-paid hackathons, or options to take online courses or anything of the like, sometimes it really feels like you are there to do the job you are asked (and don't get me wrong, the job itself it's going to b challenging and interesting), but besides a not so good salary or benefits there is nothing else the company invest in their human resources

Just as I said Kinetic is the sum of its parts, there were sometimes a few people who were never satisfied. Some complaints I heard were pretty unreasonable. Here are a few (yes they are actually real!): 1. "Why is there only lunch on Fridays?" (I thought that was awesome, but why expect lunch every day?) 2. "Why don't I have 2 laptops? One for office and one for home? 3. There aren't enough lunch options at Yonge and Queen's Quay (false, Waterpark place is one block away - full food court) 4. One staff member wrote an aggressive letter to management demanding they buy a breakfast machine because they didn't want to wait in line or pay $2.99 at Tim Hortons downstairs for a breakfast sandwich. Regardless of the fact that breakfast machines take longer, require cleanup, and would cause a line in the kitchen as long as Uncle Tetsu's because they only make 2 sandwiches at a time. An old office of mine actually had one and it took 2 weeks before it was never used again for the above reasons. And so on. Fortunately those people would leave eventually, leaving the majority of the staff happy as usual. But I always wished management and their team leaders would be a little quicker about weeding those bad apples out. People like that didn't seem to care that they interrupted the flow of collaborative work and culture for their own sense of entitlement. It happens at every company, but at a place like Kinetic, where innovation and culture are they key to their success, people like that can really slow things down and leave the rest of their respective teams picking up the slack.
