Kognitos Reviews

With other reviews this year (2026), there is one common denominator. The CEO. He may be a great technologist but not a good leader. It appears he has restructured the sales org 3 times in 3 years. It is never good enough, so he gets rid of sales leadership and takes over sales himself. He believes AI will fix everything, believes adding AI buzz words on LI will get people to connect and take meetings (doesn't happen). There are also no women in sales and little diversity. Just had a lay off in several areas in Feb. When the sales rep who had a large oppty in the pipeline leaves by choice, that's a clear indication the product isn't selling. It's obvious this is not a good structure. If you need a job badly - maybe. Just know it may not last long.

They have no idea how to run a tech company. The CEO has a great idea, but is horrible at making it profitable and creating a healthy company. He thinks AI can replace certain roles entirely, so at this company there is no product management, no quality assurance, etc. Engineering processes are HORRIBLE — they hire senior devs who spend all day vibe coding the requests of the CEO and then release those changes whenever they want, completely untested. Then, the solutions engineers will use the product and provide feedback… and that’s how they iterate… They recently shipped an entire new product that was completely untested, unless you count some really minimalistic AI written test cases. There are constantly issues with product quality, but hey — the CEO thinks AI can fix that. Let’s see how far this gets them — they’ve rebranded three times in a year and have been trying to do a very poorly coordinated product rebrand within the last 4 months. Maybe they’ll learn a lesson about an over-reliance on AI. Unfortunately you can’t have good software without certain components. Also, all the other parts about a good company — diversity, work-life balance, communication and coordination are all severely lacking as well. Unless you’re desperate, I wouldn’t consider a role here.
