Pros
  • Good people in general.
  • Nice offices.
  • A lot to learn. People do a great job in terms of quality.
  • Events.
Cons
  • Not the best salaries, but not the worst either.
  • It's not easy to promote, even if you deserve it. You can stay for more than 4 years in the same role.
  • Some teams are starting to do micromanagement and allowing attitudes from the managers that are too intrusive in the way we work. It seems that this is aligned with what leadership expects in some departments like shared tech.
  • We're losing culture and values due to many leavers. The company is doing nothing in terms of retention.
Advice to Management

Pay better and listen to the employees. Besides, if you continue allowing attitudes that are not aligned with the culture that is expected at King, people will continue leaving. One of the reasons to stay working was the good atmosphere we had. Also, there are departments like shared tech where promoting is almost impossible if you don't want to do politics. Managers should be accurately selected following the King's culture and not let work the first one you find out there.

Stay away from this company if you want to progress in your career or if you don't want to be micromanaged by managers that have no idea how to code and talk as if you were a number.
