Pros

XKL is a great place for engineering - employees of different levels of experience collaborating on innovative designs. New/intermediate engineers learn from experienced industry leaders and have the opportunity to work on a variety of areas that would never be offered at traditional companies. Senior engineers' ideas are valued and work with management to drive new projects based on customer opportunities. Unlike most private/startup companies, the ownership allows the freedom to explore new ideas and push the boundaries on their products instead of cutting corners just to get a product sold. Notable company benefits include competitive pay, health insurance, free drinks/cheap snacks, working from home once a week.

Cons

The engineering focus of XKL as a company is strong but operations is somewhat lacking. XKL also needs to improve their sales channel as a company - I am encouraged by recent steps that have been made to address this deficiency. I have read some of the other reviews and agree there is immaturity found in some of the operational personnel. From my personal experience, even though I did not agree with the approach of some co-workers, I have always been treated with professionalism and respect and allowed to fulfill my role with dignity.

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.
