I never worked for them but I can believe that. Some 10 years ago,
at a time when they were just starting with K and I was one of very
few people with actual, on-the-job experience of K, I tried to get in
touch with them. They had (at the time) a rather grotesque web site
for cv entry that required you to enter a lot of information by hand
and you were (I _may_ be wrong on this but I am pretty sure of it)
strongly discouraged from trying to make an end-run around that
rigmarole, e.g., by sending in your cv. I tried nonetheless, sending
a polite letter explaining my credentials, the reasons for my interest
etc and never heard back from anyone. They gave the impression of being
full of it or at least of having very poor execution. Just a data point.
