Pros

I first started at Kinetix as an intern. I have now been working for the company for over 2 years and have been given the autonomy to grow a department with proper trust from management. The biggest pro of working at Kinetix is the learning culture that is matched with a dynamic and fast paced environment. Kinetix is not for everyone and often times the person looking for a "typical" job in technology will not succeed here. You need to work independently, critically think, and work well in a fast paced environment. Feedback and questioning the status quo is a norm here where you get to grow your technical and soft skills. If you take out your ego, realize learning should be a priority, and work well with others, Kinetix can be a place where you can grow your career rapidly with a paper trail of good work.

Cons

The first few months at Kinetix are very uncomfortable and the job can truly be the most difficult in your career. I recommend avoiding this company if you are looking for an easy 9-5 job. Another con, which comes with the nature of a small company, is workload increasing when employees take PTO. The pay is better at other companies but you risk getting niched in a certain department, risk losing learning opportunities, and limit your ability to autonomously grow your career.

Pros

Kinetix thrives by defining their culture and core principles and implementing them every day. It is easy to be inspired to grow as an individual and learn quickly being in Kinetix. The leadership leads by example and truly cares about every individual. Kinetix feels like a family so it's easy to be yourself in their environment.

Cons

There haven't been many cons to add here. Kinetix has been great and continues to improve.

Pros

- Kinetix hires some of the best people I've ever met. - After work events are quite fun - Learn tech skills at a blazing pace - Bonuses were pretty hefty when I was there.. I've heard they've since disappeared though -Feedback is pretty transparent, though at times brutal, and the company is constantly working towards improving themselves

Cons

- Work/life balance heavily leans towards the work side. Very frequently had to work extra hours to get the job done. Did not feel like we were ever properly staffed due to 2 reasons: high churn and low headcount to begin with - Never been more stressed in my life than when I worked at Kinetix. Very high expectations are put on staff and you can be labeled as "unreliable" if you make too many mistakes. - Feedback often comes off as public shaming. Some higher management make it their life to call out every single problem that occurs publicly. Feedback is then dissected by the entire company - Management often spoke ill of employees who left afterward - Most people here are underpaid for the amount of work they do. CTO walks away with millions while the rest of the team have a hard time making rent. A large number of staff left to other MSPs and made 20k + more than what Kinetix offered -Employees get a sense of stockholm syndrome. They believe that they owe the company their lives due to the career opportunities the company presents, although the company gives little to no equity in return. - A very large sexual assault allegation went completely under the rug. Quite a few employees left the company afterwards because of it
