Pros

A global name in the industry with a dedicated front end sales team and middle management.

Cons

One day company decides to split and create a completely new organisation globally with new CEO and VPs, and then suddenly after a couple of years they decide to change that overnight and merge it back, firing the CEO and many VPs of the sister company and giving no clarity to the employees and their clients. Talented company veterans and their opinions are treated like nothing and overlooked because the CEO thinks he is always right and wants to run the business thinking the people are selling trading goods or daily consumables for customers to place an order every day, and if that does not happen, micromanagement is done to an extreme level as if the employees are children and not hired professionals. No one should work for this company until the top management changes or it is sold to a better owner.

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.
