Pros

Maxar is one of the few commercial space companies in the US. if one wants to work in space but not directly for the DOD there are opportunities.

Cons

Maxar is not a stable company at the moment as they were recently purchased by a PE firm.

Thank you for sharing your insights about Maxar. We appreciate your candid feedback. Maxar is indeed a leader in the commercial space industry, offering unique opportunities for those passionate about geospatial technology. We understand the acquisition by a PE firm has brought about changes and we're committed to navigating this transition effectively. Transparency and open communication are key during this time. Maxar Intelligence has implemented initiatives like bi-monthly Town Halls and "Ask Me Anything" sessions with leadership to ensure clear strategy translation. Your perspective is valuable, and we encourage you to continue this conversation with your HRBP or email feedback@maxar.com.

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.
