KCIC Reviews

I left a year or two ago, and reflecting on my time at KCIC still makes me shudder. Partially my fault for not doing greater due diligence on the company, but once I started, I quickly realized it is a data entry / database management business. Not consulting role, and a real waste of an economics / finance degree.

It has been a number of years and several jobs since I worked at KCIC, but to give potential employees some perspective, this is still the worst job I have ever had. Many of the complaints that more recent employees have expressed were issues that existed years ago. At the time, I concluded that the organization was still in start-up mode and had a number of growing pains to work through, but it appears that they are still experiencing many of the issues I endured. For starters, I can unequivocally state that this organization treated its employees far worse than any other employer I have ever worked for. Specifically, the organization's executives treated its employees like children (e.g. permission was required to conduct activities outside of core working hours such as taking GMAT courses to further one's own development), they also treated employees like slaves as there was no such thing as personal time (e.g. I remember some employees working a 22 hour day...no exaggeration...22 hours). It was so bad that former employees I still keep in touch with still bring up their bad experiences during their tenure at the firm. Overall, I have walked away hoping the organization did well and turned things around from a culture/employee engagement perspective. They may have in many aspects, but it is concerning to see that many of the issues that I experienced are still being voiced by more recent employees. That said, I do think this organization may be good for individuals who are willing to forego a personal life, specifically during their entry-level years. Things may be better for more senior applicants.
