Pros

Secure line of work with innovative technology and very brilliant minds. A time of growth where impacts can be made and substantial rewards can be obtained. Recent shifts in senior management structure have made a positive impact on culture.

Cons

It's still a start-up going through some growing pains. But they are the kind that lead to success unlike other startups making the wrong kind of decisions. Culture is still trickling down and those with minor toxicities remain, but are being coached and dealt with.

Pros

-New age satellite and RF communications technology -Experienced engineers within team -a self driven environment -self ownership -free "snacks" and a weekly Thursday catered lunch. (this is laughable)

Cons

-the company is very investor driven and not a lot of compassion and care towards employees. The CEO cares more about investor money and keeping them happy than taking care of own employees -terrible work culture -subpar job benefits -vacation accrual rate of 2.3 hours per pay period -job entrapment through relocation -bonus structure is beyond terrible. You would need to work 65-80 hour work weeks to even be considered for a bonus -schedule restraints cause engineers to work and meet deadlines that aren't achievable causing cuts through manufacturing/test flow. Doesn't feel like you're giving customer a good product -management is not where it needs to be. This causes more stress on teams due to bad resource management and bad management of scheduling -last minute tasks take priority just to get a product out. This happens almost everyday causing you to push out own priorities. This inevitably causes bad questions during performance reviews. -no vacation time. Even when on vacation there is no personal space as people still schedule meetings or call about things that are hot. -extremely long times to backfill positions on teams causing a bigger work load -sometimes reluctant to hire during different phases of a project. -the company is a mess and not heading in a good direction from an employee standpoint -The amount of overtime worked every month over a year they would owe me $40000. They wouldn't even try to negotiate this overhead prior to signing a work contract.
