Pros
In the earlier K+C days, the culture was genuinely positive, with strong morale and people happy to contribute to the team and their projects. Many colleagues remain brilliant, supportive, and hard-working, which has been one of the best aspects of working here
Cons
Leadership feels very homogenous and lacks diversity, which has negatively affected decision-making and culture. Recent changes show a strong focus on budget cuts, often at the expense of people and long-term quality. The repeated rounds of redundancies create a constant sense of uncertainty — like a game of battleships: will I be hit this round or the next? Many great colleagues have been lost, leaving the workplace feeling dehumanising, as though we’re just numbers on a spreadsheet. There has also been a noticeable shift toward replacing UK employees with lower-cost hires overseas, which has weakened collaboration, working relationships, and overall output quality. On top of that, budget cuts have removed much of the software that made the job efficient and enjoyable, forcing staff to work with outdated tools. The culture has declined significantly as a result.
