Kronos Incorporated Reviews

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

Kronos is a god place to work because of the following reasons:
Good people
Innovative products
Did well when the economy was bad
Competitive compensation and benefits

Cons

Here are some of the downsides:
Improve technical orientation
Train people on the products they work on because if people don't know the product well the product quality will suffer

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work

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

Strategic direction, maturation of IT, communication, collaboration and planning are the buzz words, attitude matters, encouragement, fairness and flexibility are being practiced

Cons

Taking on to much at once, onsite staff is sparce, Senior staff does not communicate as much as it needs to

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

Market Leader in workforce management
Mostly good people working at Corp and Field
Good salary and benefits

Cons

Front Line and Middle Managers (sales managers and Directors) are horrendous. Especially in the newest vertical. Idiots who are tactical only, no strategic vision on territory management or the sales cycle.

Advice to Senior Management

Things are rotting from the bottom up

Pros

Good pay
Reasonable hours
Lots of customers with great revenue

Cons

Averse to taking calculated risks
Offshoring moving jobs
No innovation
Ageing workforce

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

Stable, Multi-cultural, Bilingual, international, location

Cons

Work on an already developed app
Low communication
Cubicals / non-full-agile environment
Java technology doesn't seem to let go the presentation layer

Advice to Senior Management

If you say you're Agile environment then apply to it's fullest. Get rid of the old fashioned closed cubicals.
Your project leaders are not running a dictatorship work. They're managing a project not an army. It's life or death matter.

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.
