Pros

Good, smart coworkers. The front line people are very high quality and eager to help. Unlimited PTO, which you're actually encouraged to use (at least with my manager).

Cons

Management is out of touch. Raises for the best team members (unicorns) are 2.5% or lower. 1/5th of the bonus promised at hiring (others got even less). Remote work is rescinded; everyone is being forced back into the office (unless you were hired as 100% remote and don't live near an office, but I feel like our time is running out). Software tools that increase productivity (Slack) are being phased out despite major pushback (lots of processes will have to be redesigned from the ground-up, which will waste more money than it saves). HR really drags their feet when it comes to promoting the one or two heroes that make product launches happen on time (which requires working nights and weekends). Management is penny-wise but pound foolish. Recommend looking elsewhere if you have options.

Pros

The older version of the company (Maxar) was a pretty solid mission.

Cons

Where to begin? Over my time at Maxar (then the "rebrand" to Vantor,) I watched this company completely devolve. Owned by private equity, this company is a world class example of a reprehensible, integrity lacking dumpster fire that will tout themselves as being a great place to work, pro veteran, bla bla bla...then FLAGRANTLT, REPEATEDLY, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY: -Lie, -Manipulate, -Promote questionable individuals who negatively impact security, and actively discriminate, take advantage of, and then kick to the curb multiple disabled veterans. The most pathetic part is that the one department you would hope would have integrity routinely, consistently, as well as being well documented, Cybersecurity- had ZERO INTEGRITY. ZERO LEADERSHIP, AND ACTIVELY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST MULTIPLE VETERANS. Besides creating the most toxic environment possible, and supported by a complete whiny, tantrum throwing CEO who is just responsible for appeasing the private equity sleazebags who care about nothing and nobody other than their bottom line, (who then actively hurt it by routinely letting documented high performers go so they can rinse and repeat by cutting costs, even when they are trying to screw over disabled veterans.

Your feedback has been noted, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective from your time with the organization. We’re sorry to hear your experience shifted over time, particularly during a period of organizational transition. Vantor has deep respect for the service and contributions of veterans, and we remain committed to fostering a workplace grounded in professionalism, inclusion, and respect. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated and does not reflect Vantor’s values. We’ve captured your feedback regarding leadership, communication, and employee experience, as these are important topics to us. As the company continues to evolve, we remain focused on transparency through Town Halls and leadership forums. We wish you the best in your next chapter.
