      Pros

      Chill work environment addressing pretty big technical problems without having to work in a defense-only environment. Relatively high-caliber technical staff.

      Cons

      Just like the title says. While it was transparent to me as I was getting started at the company a few years ago, it wasn't long until the complicated legal structure and management structure that comes from being built of many other companies caught up to me and made it difficult to get things done. It adds layers of bureaucracy that you don't experience in other companies this size. Sure, you'd expect it from Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, or AWS, but not from a 4000-ish company. It's pretty paralyzing at times. I noted relatively high-caliber technical staff. Not positive I can say the same for support staff but I often wonder if it is just that they are held back by lack of autonomy.

      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.
