Pros
- Great work/life balance; as someone who has been in IT for over a decade, this is the first job I've had where the CEO all but mandates that employees take time off. Minimal nights and weekends compared to what you'd typically see with an MSP or IT - Transparency: K3 has a big focus on transparency with employees and clients a like. This goes a long way in earning trust and ensuring good communication across the board. - CEO: Our CEO makes a huge effort to ensure that employees are happy and getting what they need to be successful; he really takes feedback to heart and attempts to do right by everyone where feasible. He has shown a lot of generosity by providing a benefits package comparable to a Fortune 500, profit sharing, etc. - A company that cares about clients: The CEO has really taken the time to understand that, in our industry, clients need more than just an "IT Guy" -- they need a business partner. K3 goes a long way to make sure they are recommending solutions to clients that make sense for their company's goals, improving efficiency and productivity. It's about making our clients better businesses, not just better clients. - Aggressive growth: K3 has exhibited aggressive growth since inception, with plans for continued growth and expansion. This gives everyone a lot to look forward to and opportunities for career growth. - Small and close knit team: The team holds each other accountable and works well together. It's truly a joy to work with everyone at K3, and it feels like we all have each other's backs.
Cons
Not necessarily a con, but worth considering is that K3 has grown from 4 FTEs to 14 FTEs over the last couple of years. This has caused our org structure to evolve a bit, along with new systems and toolsets coming into play. Along the way, there have been "growing pains" to an extent. However, the team has managed really well with the growth and changes, with everyone seemingly up to the challenge of evolving as a team and company. If you're considering working for K3, keep in mind that the growth trajectory is fairly aggressive; the organization suits people best who enjoy a high-paced work environment, and are excited about being a part of bigger goals and creating solutions to help us be a better company for each other and our clients. It is also crucial that you uphold our core values, such as integrity, transparency and accountability.
