Pros

Funding for training , management involvement, flexible work schedule supports good work/life balance, and a general attitude at headquarters is a breath of fresh air away from the "big business" cold attitude. I love the management/directors/executive staff at headquarters!!! The VP, Terry, is so down to earth and is really engaged in these contracts. So I see a large business that is smart enough to retain some of the small business charm that got it to where it is today. I appreciate that the top isn't looking down, but across and eye-to-eye.

Cons

Stretch upper management thinly across multiple contracts.

Pros

Very technical. Collaborate training. Very competitive pay. You will work with some very knowledgeable people. If you like to travel, they will send you places.

Cons

Set people up to fail(They will not give you details on your project til the last minute). Will use your clearance to accomplish boring contracts. They do not really help you out when your in a jam on site. They do not train you on anything, expect you to lead without a company vision. Claiming travel related expenses are a hassle. They once made me walk 2 miles every day to a client site in order to save on a taxi. They do not invest in their people. They will encourage you to do presentations (articles, presentations) so they can have free advertisement from it. You will work on two projects at once all the time. The people that have been there a long time are bitter. The peer review process is a joke and not one like doing it.

I am sorry to hear this was your experience at KCG. We do listen to our employees and try to make recommended changes when we can. One of your “Cons” is our travel process, which was a complaint we heard often. We recently implemented a web-based expense and travel system which can be accessed from anywhere, including smartphones. This has streamlined the travel process and our employees have been pleased with the results. We also have a number of resources in place that you can reach out to if you are having challenges on the customer site. If this is the experience of anyone at KCG, I would encourage you to seek out assistance from your supervisor in these matters, particularly if you are feeling overworked. If you are not comfortable going to your direct manager, our HR team is also there to help. We want to be a place where everyone can flourish and grow no matter where they are in their career, and a company that will provide a comfortable work-life balance.
