Oppressive antiquated management style and absentee owner - Engineer XKL Employee Review

Pros

It's a job - we used to innovate and there are still pockets of brilliance in engineering staff.

Cons

We no longer innovate and it is against policy to speak up or suggest how to streamline or become relevant to the current marketplace. Owners and management follow 50's era thinking regarding how to motivate and management people to perform. Lots of intelligent and hard working loyal employees who are unfortunately discouraged, run down and dejected by constant barrage of inept operations personnel being allowed to run amuck. Management openly states they hate customers and it is evidence since we are not selling anything.

Pros

XKL provided a great place to work and an opportunity that was made even better by how they handled Covid with their staff and customers. During this time, not only was my work acknowledged and praised, and more opportunities were given to expand my role. As an example, My role was given more leeway and autonomy to control the content and job outcome. Management had been very perceptive to changes, and provided strong support. Leaving was definitely a painful decision to make.

Cons

Based remotely from the Company head office meant to travel to/from the office was cumbersome or not possible during Covid. Not the fault of the company - but I missed the human interaction.
