I know when I have something to voice, management listens and if I can show the evidence to support my needs for my team, they will see to it that it happens.

RB – Principal Scientist/PI, Pharma Discovery

I’ve personally been promoted 3 times in my 9 years so far at KCAS, and while that has been tremendous for me, what makes me most happy is how many of my colleagues I have helped with their personal and career development. KCAS invests in professional training at all levels, which allows for a culture of growth both personally and professionally.

DW – Senior Scientific Advisor

The KCAS culture is one of sharing and getting to know one another. We celebrate a lot with “shout-outs” and “employee of the month,” we have a lot of fun in competitions, we get to participate on committees to connect and have our ideas heard. We also enjoy food and get together for various holiday parties, food trucks, company potlucks, and more. I really appreciate the value KCAS puts on employee experiences like these.

VG – Principal QA Auditor

I have always enjoyed the sense of community KCAS has provided, people of all backgrounds are able to come together and share interests outside of work. We’ve had an arcade day and even a pet-a-puppy over lunch where there were puppies from local animal rescues brought. By far, the most fun I have had was the flag football tournament; good sportsmanship and talent followed by a BBQ potluck after the championship was a great experience.
