Thank you for sharing your experience. We genuinely value feedback from people who have been part of the Kurtosys journey. Kurtosys is a business in deliberate, active growth. With that comes an elevated pace, higher performance standards, and organisational change that does not always feel comfortable in the moment. This is a reality of scaling, and one we are transparent about. The demands we place on our teams reflect the ambition of what we are building, and we look for people who are energised by that environment. We are proud of the culture our people have built, and the collegial, supportive dynamic you acknowledged is something we invest in and protect. We do hear that the pace and volume of change created friction in your experience, and we take that seriously as a data point. On communication and process alignment, these are areas any organisation at our stage of growth continues to refine. We have dedicated focus here and will continue to hold ourselves to a high standard. On the point of staff turnover, we would gently push back here. Our retention has improved consistently year on year since 2022, and that trajectory reflects a workplace people are choosing to stay in. We understand that an individual's experience can feel at odds with the broader picture, and we respect that. But the data tells a different story to the one suggested here. If you would like to continue the conversation confidentially, our HR team remains available.

Pros

Our office strikes the perfect balance of fun and focus – my colleagues are fantastic and I love coming to work every day. Kurtosys gives me the opportunity to learn and make an impact on our business operations and growth - I’ve learned more in my time at Kurtosys than I have ever before in my career. Management encourages employees to think outside of the box, develop new/better processes, and to continually improve. They trust employees and are transparent about financial results and company priorities. Plus, employee contributions are rewarded: management regularly gives accolades to hard-working employees. Summary list of pros: great office location, regular team events/happy hours, responsive IT team, smart colleagues, managers that want to mentor and develop employees, and an improving HR and performance review process. Plus, we’re growing quickly, which creates more and more opportunity for everyone.

Cons

It would be great to get more PTO for the US office (3 weeks is the US standard, less than global offices), though the 10 holidays are nice. Other than that, I have no complaints and consider this my best workplace/career move to date. All of the expectations set during my interview process have been met and I have not been disappointed or let-down by the company in any way.
