Pluspunten

Broad experience (but this may change)

Minpunten

K2 is poorly led with a structure and opportunity driven by allegiance with superiors. There a few managers that are supportive - but they are in the minority and slowly leaving the firm. Majority of the company’s managers are not leaders and lack emotional intelligence. It is an office full of “odd cats”. A few project managers in particular like to think of themselves as “spies” and behave bizzarely (think survivalist who watched too many spy films) while others like to think of themselves as cutting edge journalists but neither is true. You will be misled - especially if you are promised opportunities as management have a hard time being honest. If you are coming in at an associate level - you will be placed in a pool and fought over like a commodity. Your progression and learning is not a going concern and your immediate superiors are grossly under qualified to provide meaningful development. The pay is appalling. If you do choose to join - may the odds be ever in your favour.

Pluspunten

If you’re fortunate enough to join a decent team at the firm, you’ll have the opportunity to work with some interesting clients. Collaborating with former senior government officials can also be valuable, especially if you’re looking to better understand policy goals and how they are shaped. That said, many of the former government officials at K2 have been out of public service for so long that their understanding of the current government policies have diminished.

Minpunten

3 CEOs in 3 years! The firm’s leadership has struggled to articulate a clear and consistent direction, resulting in frequent shifts in priorities. Expectations for practitioners are often unclear, yet they are criticized for not meeting loosely defined objectives, which can create significant stress. In addition, the pressure to manage client demands and meet billable hour targets can be overwhelming. K2 is not always conducive to long-term career development, as internal advancement opportunities are limited. Senior roles are often filled through external hires, many of whom lack private sector experience. This can be frustrating for practitioners who are directly responsible for delivering client work. Furthermore, the current leadership’s ongoing discussions about workforce reductions have contributed to an atmosphere of uncertainty and unease across the firm.
