Pros
I have been working here for 6 months. In general, they invests some good technical stack and tools. We are having some interesting and challenging problems. They offer good salary but not great due to stressful job and workload you have. You work with some good engineers. Office is nice and having free lunch.
Kontras
CKO is having a very toxic working environment. My mental health was worse in CKO and it took me 1 month to recover. The salary is not very good with your stressful job at CKO. You have long working hours, officially from 9-6pm but you are expected to work longer than that. There is not working life balance at all in CKO. The worst thing is the line manager, it is a very micromanagement. They are not honest and very political. They are not here to help you, they are here to criticize you and they will give you some impossible missions if they dont like you. There are not constructive feedbacks at all from my line manager, all feedbacks were negative feedbacks, even he refused to say some good feedbacks from other team. In particularly, he just tried his best to find your faults and mistakes, even I have worked hard and delivered my tasks in a good way and positive manner ( I can say my works are better than other senior devs). There was no good onboarding process at all. You joined, you worked hard and you got the negative feedbacks as well as horrible mental health. They said that they applied hybrid working scheme but there is no flexible at all, you are expected to come back to the office 2 fixed days a week. I dont see any career opportunities in here. I will definitely and strongly not recommend my friends to join CKO. Especially, you have kids and they will not understand. Especially, they just sacked 100 people few months ago. CKO is my worst working experience I have ever had. But thank you for help me to recognize what important are in my life.
