Avis sur Kronos Incorporated

Inconvénients

Il y a beaucoup de changements en cours dans les processus de travail et cela a des répercussions parfois indésirables sur les projets. Cela peut créer des frustrations si vous n'êtes pas quelqu'un de très patient.

Inconvénients

There are NO cons at this time.

Inconvénients

There aren't a lot. The only thing I can think of is that they don't pay as much as other computer science/engineering co-ops that I've seen.

Inconvénients

Too many people can say no and finding a decision maker can be difficult

Inconvénients

Global growth and alignment still very much in process.

Inconvénients

Bench marking, salary, compensation, spiffs

Inconvénients

Limited upward mobility, not everyone want's to make a lateral move.

Inconvénients

Pay less compare to the current market

Kronos is a software development company since the early 80s yet they don't know how to plan ahead, make good software and communicate well between geographies. The geographies (USA offices, Canada office, India office) are somewhat in war between each others, blaming each other for bugs because the higher management wants results quick and since the software was badly written from the beginning, bugs are introduced in each commits.

Kronos is also stuck in the past, a bunch of old developers who never knew how to code properly are now architects and these people are so stressed (because of higher management) that they don't listen to developers and just do the old stuff they're used to.

In nearly 4 years of employment, I developed maybe 8 months and the rest of the time was fixing bugs. Before my time, the older developers also spent 90% of their time fixing bugs.

For a software company, they also really don't see innovation as a tool to motivate people. I never had any chance to innovate: all of my tasks were set in stone using this method and that way to program, in 4 years I never had any days to work on ideas that I pitched to my architects and manager (so zero innovation weeks like I heard in other companies); new ideas that were pitched were listened to... by a wall.

The biggest issues with Kronos is the higher management: they don't listen to the developers, they plan huge releases in a very short timeframe, they see the problems but are too ignorant to recognize it's actually an issue.

Other cons:

* Low end of the salary bracket for the region and position
* Technologically incompetent
* Doesn't reward hard job if you don't explicitly email managers that you worked many hours after working hours/week-end
* Week-end work is mandatory and there's no compensation
* They won't give you the good tools or the time to do your job correctly

Overall; the management is the issue.
