Kunai Reviews

- The company purely exists to enrich it's management. They actively pursue companies that they've worked at previously that are notorious for paying out high rates for contractors. I'm thoroughly convinced management started the company just as a way to skim off the top from their previous employers and exploit the relationships they built at those companies. Personally I wouldn't mind if they were just more transparent about it. - They are actively mass-hiring less qualified but far cheaper labor in Mexico and firing US-based experienced workers. There are active projects to enable the companies Kunai contracts with to be able to provide sensitive data that typically would've been restricted to US-based employees to Mexico-based employees. If you are a US-based employee, be prepared to have your job outsourced within the next 1-2 years; your best bet is to try to get hired at whatever company you're farmed out to.

Leadership is toxic and exhibits many of the red flags you can identify in a company. This is a trickle-down effect from the CEO, who grossly lacks awareness in his understanding of himself as a leader, a businessman, and someone capable of doing the right thing. There’s rampant favoritism to the detriment of of the company, often rewarding incompetence and “yes people” over hard work and innovation. I would argue the majority of positive reviews for Kunai come from those working on projects, who are removed from any visibility on internal operations. If they did, the pure chaos of how the company is run would make them question their career choices. No equity is shared outside of executive leadership, which supports the idea that the CEO is making a frenzied attempt to get acquired and enrich himself at the expense of everyone working for him. Unless you fight for a competitive salary at the very beginning, your ability to see gainful raises in salary are low, and you’ll still get worked to the bone. Unlimited PTO is nice, but it’s purely dependent upon the work required from any one of the insane contracts the company takes on. If pay transparency applied to Kunai, it would completely unravel.
