Pros

Interesting technology that unfortunately is not able to be commoditized due to restrictive and subjective internal processes and procedures CEO with vision and passion for his technology First line employees (mostly) who are dedicated and hard working in spite of their respective management

Cons

Unqualified and inexperienced mid and senior level management individuals Unnecessary and performance limiting processes and procedures driven by people unqualified to manage or lead others More focus on internal tracking of irrelevant things than on revenue producing activities Too many outdated and draconian rules, policies and procedures to ensure job security for only those in operations Absolutely no business acumen or real world successful business experience within senior or mid level mgmt Zero executive leadership by current full time position holder Salaries and benefits are not competitive within the industry Not focused on customers or creating sales

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.
