Pros

Kenexa culture and vision line up with my values. Work hard, play hard is really practiced, and personal committment to projects, deadlines and promises is the norm. Also, global interaction is easy, people in offices worldwide are excited to connect with like-minded individuals on topics and projects.

Cons

processes and systems are generally missing or have gaps. Internal education is understaffed.
Payroll, HR and Benefits are in sepreate kingdoms, and make taking maternity leave a puzzle.

50 hours is the low end of a normal week for salary employees.
