Pros

- In the end, I liked and respected my teammates. A non-toxic, friendly, inclusive environment all around. - Sometimes we get office pizza.

Cons

- Layoffs large and small have been a yearly occurrence since 2023. The most recent layoff stripped the place to the bone. - Bad vibes and taking morale. It may improve one day, but at time of writing it feels like a dying company. - Latest product has, at time of writing, zero (0) customers. - Business outlook is truly abysmal. The real innovation in the satellite communication industry happens at SpaceX, Amazon, Eutelsat, Blue Origin, etc, not here, and it shows in the company's financials. - Development experience is AWFUL. Simple tasks like building code or running tests are painful and themselves tend to break. - Legacy code and tech debt is bad as the company hasn't really made a truly new product in over a decade.
