Pros

Great place to start a career. Engineers can have their voices heard, good ideas are not ignored. They tend to promote from within.

Cons

Salary and benefits are not competitive. CEO does not seem motivated to have a successful company and answers to no one except his own bank account. Privacy seems to be more important. He has no problem steering the company in tangential directions on a whim, even when all managers advise against it. He will not use latest technology or modern techniques.

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.
