Not what they think they are. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Kinney Group

Great Team of people to work with

not the best hourly rates

There are so many genuinely wonderful colleagues and fantastically talented people at Kinney Group. Core values are front and center, and colleague recognition is frequent and prompt. Technical colleagues (engineers) have ample opportunity to grow and develop their skills through advanced training initiatives.

The emphasis on culture and colleague support is meaningless because it is ultimately negated by leadership. With the exception of one VP who is constantly spoken over and undervalued, the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is composed of white men whose leadership philosophies are twenty years out of date. Entry-level colleagues, women, and people of color at KGI were constantly disrespected by the CEO, who lacks a basic understanding of and appreciation for certain parts of the business. The facade of investing in colleagues is there, but KGI will never be a truly great place to work until ELT commits to a long-term, effective leadership philosophy, updates their outlook on diversity and inclusion, and values colleagues as individuals who shape the company rather than detractors from a bottom line. I don't know if those changes can take place under current leadership.
