Good place to work

Pros

Lean organization translated into broad job responsibilities and opportunities. Very diverse and international employee base, mainly due to Spacenet acquisition, which made it an interesting place to work.

Cons

Resources were often limited, as was the skill set or scope of the employee base. This meant there were sometimes challenges in developing products in a timely manner.

Pros

It's a job. Fairly generous with PTO, not a terribly rigid environment. Not terribly obsessed with numbers and statistics. Really nice people work here. One thing they still really do well is work/life balance. Plus all the people who have been with the company since the start or near the start are awesome, good managers. They just don't seem to be in charge anymore. The owner is way, way more nice than you'd expect of a man in his position. It'll get you a paycheck, but it's not a career.

Cons

Sagenet was an awesome company built from the ground up. Lots of people have worked here for 10 or 20 years, since its founding. People who got hired here never left. Then it merged with SpaceNet and everything changed. Nowadays pay is lower even if you get promoted. Notorious for adding responsibilities and roles without compensation. Simply put, SageNet has been transformed into a top-down bureaucratic management that is financially unstable. Can't afford to pay people for their promotions. New hires are paid less than people who were hired before the merge. There is lots of room for advancement with all the new executive positions they are creating, but they keep hiring from outside the company rather than promoting the people who have worked at SageNet for years.

Pros

Good pay but not with the lack of communication, and expecting you to learn intricate concepts in your own.

Cons

Terrible communication, everyone passes blame. No one shares knowledge, yet got are expected to know what your colleagues know.
