Sirius Satellite Radio Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Sirius Satellite Radio for more than a year

Pros – It's a very strong brand, and it's very low-stress work. They allow a lot of employees to work remote, and even part-time.

Cons – The pace is very slow, and unless you can take a slow pace, it's hard. The office is in NoMa, and as of writing there is not a lot near the office. If you need to do something in downtown DC, plan a two hour lunch.
