Pros
- Get to work on various spacecraft for international customers, definitely an interesting and complex product to work on. - The people: lots with decades of experience in the industry, most are friendly, cool and very smart. One can learn a ton from them.
Cons
- No clear vision of future - due to decrease in GEO communication satellite demand, success of company is in flux, contract wins are very rare, and poor product roadmap. - Layoffs have been a regular thing due to super thin margins and lack of pipeline...no end in sight. - Attrition has greatly increased due to poor compensation and high bay area living costs...smart and talented people aren't going to pass up other opportunities in this hot market, and that is a HUGE problem that I don't see going away - Senior management constantly changing, organization structure always being re-vamped. More chiefs than Indians being hired. - Morale at company is very low; toxic work environment, engineers being spread too thin, middle management under unreasonable pressure with few resources, late for all deliverables.
