Pros

Great coworkers, the non management personnel are great to be around. Factory is climate controlled which is a definite plus in the summer. Their products are very high quality with a very modern facility.

Cons

Fairly toxic workplace, poor management. Everyone is constantly in a bad mood due to the unnecessary stress created by management who uses the threat of layoffs as a "motivator". Constantly shifting targets and priorities make it hard to get your job done effectively. Working long hours is almost expected but it will not be appreciated at all. Management will lie straight to your face in the interview and tell you how great it is to work there. Don't believe them, you will be shocked and regret your decision.

Pros

Overall, I’m grateful for my time here and the opportunities I’ve had to grow professionally. Employees who are adaptable and solutions-oriented can gain broad experience quickly and contribute in meaningful ways. There are many dedicated people across the company, and the business has exciting long-term potential. I’ve especially valued the ability to take initiative and help shape projects rather than simply maintain the status quo. Like many growing organizations, some processes are still evolving. Communication, compensation alignment, and consistency across teams could continue to improve. That said, there are good people here who care and want the company to succeed.

Cons

There are still some people at Kelvion that aren't a good culture fit. Usually these people end up leaving but they can unfortunately do a lot of damage before they do. There are also opportunities to improve consistency in communication, processes, and recognition across teams and locations. As with many growing organizations, roles can evolve quickly, which can sometimes create ambiguity around priorities or career progression.
