      Pros

      Great insurance and solid 401k - golden handcuffs, as others have mentioned. Seeing spacecraft being assembled and worked on is really cool and always makes me feel excited again - for a few minutes.

      Cons

      Private equity acquisition in 2023 and subsequent split of Maxar into two companies (Space in CA and Intelligence with groups in CO, MI, VA, FL) has just made formal a divide that already existed. There was never "one maxar", and now the companies are accelerating apart. Both companies have suffered layoffs and attrition - overworked teams are just getting even more spread thin. Short term and Long term incentive plans were both put on hold last year; "merit" raises did not keep up with cost of living. Promotions and "distinguished" engineer paths all were put on hold. R&D funding has been frozen. It's total hold-your-breath mode and hope the next round of layoffs don't hit you. New CEOs in both companies promise changes "real soon" - those that are still here need to hold them accountable if those promises are not delivered on.

      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.
