Great employees let down by toxic leadership
Pros
The work-life balance is awesome, for most employees. There's no overtime culture to speak of, while flexible working varies from team to team There are a lot of fun and caring people at Kiloo, and if you're lucky you can end up in a very close-knit team with a supportive manager The new office facilities will hopefully improve the physical working environment
Cons
The macho senior management team have created a culture of fear and confusion. People are afraid to break cover with their projects and ideas for fear of them being shut down or rubbished by poorly qualified 'visionaries'. Decisions about the future of specific titles are shrouded in secrecy and are taken without involving the right stakeholders I have witnessed colleagues being shouted at in front of their teams and have heard horror stories about this behaviour happening frequently. Physical intimidation is unacceptable and I hope that the perpetrator will have the wisdom to step back from his toxic management style if he cares about staff wellbeing and retention This toxic culture has led directly to many employees leaving Kiloo, even though they have friendly colleagues and interesting work. I feel like this could be a much more inviting workplace with a change of management
