Pros

Smart co-workers, interesting problems to tackle.

Cons

Management is fixated on process and metrics which sometimes get waved in people's faces as low-key threats. Every group in R&D is siloed. Managers do not seem to be aligned with one another. Management has obvious favourites who get special privileges. There is very little communication up and down the chain of command. The company is starting to be weirdly stingy -- cutting things like the holiday party. The toilets do not work. People are getting fired with no attempts from the company to address issues first. So many CxOs. No evidence to suggest any of these problems are being addressed.

Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and we’re sorry you aren’t having a positive experience with Kinaxis. We’re starting to break down the silos, especially in our R&D organization, and we appreciate everyone’s participation in that process. And as an increasingly global company, we’re re-allocating centralized entertainment budgets to our teams around the world, which seems fair. We encourage you to talk to your manager or HR to see what else we can do to help.
