Pros

Initially an attractive place to work because you are contributing to open-source, but there are other employers which offer better pay, stability, and culture.

Cons

Layoffs were handled abysmally, and the CEO is actively trying to remove honest reviews from this page to protect her reputation. We were promised job security when Kitware became an ESOP in 2020, specifically that it would "his transition strengthens Kitware’s commitment to our employees through shared ownership," however, the exact opposite happened since this transition and financial instability has been revealed.

Pros

This is a great company to work for if you're looking to do a 9 to 5 with minimal stress.

Cons

There's not a lot of room for real career growth and the compensation is pretty bad.
