Kronos Incorporated Reviews in Boston, MA Area

Pros

This is a well run, financially strong company. A market leading company that drives consistent growth and profits. Delivers innovative products to market well ahead of the competition.

Cons

Can be a bit challenging at times to navigate the corporate bureaucracy. That's a small price to pay for strong financial performance.

Advice to Senior Management

Take a few more risks. Drive for more aggressive growth.

Pros

great work life balance, strong brand and company direction, awesome convenience as far as being able to work remote goes, very fair compensation.

Cons

Some management has been around for a very long time and some areas of the company could use a fresh set of eyes. General workforce does tend to be on the older side but they are working towards becoming a younger, faster company.

Advice to Senior Management

I would recommend focusing on developing top performers and allowing them the ability to fast track to the upper levels of the company. Smart people are smart regardless of experience and while work place experience is very important in a fast moving time for technology hard workers should be rewarded for continued efforts, and should be able to move up the chain faster to become leaders at the forefront of the company.

Pros

Solid, Stable Company! Great culture! Innovation is a huge part of the culture! Strong employee base that accepts change. Company generates revenue in tough economy and everyone is aligned to this goal! #1 Workforce mgmt compant! Proud to be a part of this company!

Cons

Culture in a state of transformation and that takes time.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep driving this culture toward innovation, change and being #1. Objective - be the fastest growing workforce mgmt company and everyone is focused on success. This is a business!

Pros

Easy commute location, vacation allocation, individual contributors very capable, flexible work hours including able to work from home some days.

Cons

Latest change in management worst than the last, treating people like numbers, senior people who haven't left will be doing so soon.

Advice to Senior Management

There are just enough people left who understand how the products work to keep this ship afloat. You better start appreciating them. Too many chiefs and not enuff people coding and testing.

Pros

Expending overseas presents great opportunity for growth, management focused on producing best product, reducing costs and making Kronos successful. Company makes money and is stable.

Cons

Recent management changes created a clash with old guard, different methodologies will take time to merge.

Pros

Some U.S. employees, for the moment.

Cons

Hrm. Where to begin... The review process is a joke. Managers cannot tell you what you need to do in order to advance. Compensation is $.01 more than would make you leave. All of the competent managers have been let go, only the robots or newly-hired-off-the-streets managers remain (What does that tell you). More jobs are disappearing or going overseas every year. Projects are shipped incomplete, with low quality months if-not-years late. H&F is just looking to coast on fumes until someone is willing to pay 3.8 to 5.1 billion for it, then it'll will be sold in a flash.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop re-arranging the deck chairs... the ship is sinking.

Pros

-management very supportive of field consultants

Advice to Senior Management

Try and identify top performers from the field and mark for advancement. As a field consultant I often feel that there's not many ways out of this particular position and very few opportunities for promotion into management

Pros

Very good people with high ethical standards.

Cons

not cutting edge and slow to on technology

Advice to Senior Management

create a pipeline of resources with new talent. Workforce at Kronos has too longer tenure.

Company was purchased a few years back. After buyout things changed for the worse. Senior folks started to leave and have continued to leave since I departed.
