Horrible company culture - Anonymous employee Kurtosys Employee Review

I personally want to apologize for your negative experience at Kurtosys and our interaction, which was unsatisfactory. I agree that it takes great courage to identify and flag issues to management and there are no excuses for how you felt during our meeting. I do care deeply about our employees and their concerns and to leave you with the impression that I wanted to leave with an immediate sense of urgency or that I wasn’t listening was unjust and unfair. I take great pride in meeting with each of our employees individually, and I hope they are receptive to these meetings. I clearly have flaws as a leader, and I take ownership of them. There are no excuses, only actions that I can take to address them. I do recall our conversation from March 31st, and I immediately addressed your concerns with various members of the team. Unfortunately, I never followed up with you directly and upon my return in May, you had already left the company and for that I do apologize. Since you have left, and partially as a response to our conversation, I began a search for a Director of People Operations. We have subsequently appointed Natalie Willemse as our Director of People Operations who is based in South Africa. She started with us on the 3rd of October and her responsibilities are to lead our efforts to train and develop our employees, to recruit highly skilled and experienced employees as well as to address cultural diversity and to roll out sensitivity training, globally throughout the company. Separately, I have asked her to reach out to you in order to discuss your experience at Kurtosys and to identify ways to improve. I hope you would be open to sharing your ideas and recommendations with me as well. We certainly strive to create an inclusive culture where diversity is embraced. We have strong female leaders as members of our management team and we are conscious about promoting diversity across the company. I believe we have worked diligently to creating a diverse group of people in each of our offices where possible and recognize that there is work to be done within our Reno, NV office. I would like to thank you for highlighting your issues and concerns and would like to assure you that the behaviors you have highlighted will not be tolerated. We will take action in understanding the issues and address them accordingly. I wish you the best of luck in your career. Scott Gellman COO & CFO
