Business Outlook
Pros
It is still a relatively small company with plenty of cross-training opportunities--provided you have a willing manager. The company (at least pre-merger XM) is competitive when it comes to salary and benefits.
Cons
Unfortunately, the employee-friendly days of XM Satellite Radio have disappeared. Since the merger with Sirius, the "tone from the top" has changed markedly to a more Wall Street like atmosphere. Cold and impersonal - the team atmosphere has all but vanished. With the company's financial troubles, employees are expected to "work around" issues and duct tape together cheaper systems, but management expects the same enterprise-level performance from these bargain solutions.
