Pros

I absolutely love working with my team. My manager is fully supportive of my professional development and consistently advocates for me. A good bit of the work has been helpful in terms of skill development, too. My department seems to have its act together to a reasonable extent and my colleagues are all kind people.

Cons

The CEO is out of touch with the reality of the circumstance his employees are in. He stands in front of the company and tells everyone to act like adults and learn to manage their own budgets, claiming that they're compensated competitively (market research does not support this claim nearly across the board) while he's cashing in on millions of dollars every year (not to mention that promotions/raises were put on hold indefinitely as a result of acquisition). He also advertises values he doesn't live by when making company decisions, which he'll unilaterally do in the absence of other leadership that may oppose him. If I could do it again, his disposition, actions, inappropriate behavior, and general strategic direction would make me seriously reconsider taking a job at Maxar.

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.
