Exciting Projects, Growing Pains - Recensione dipendente - Senior Hardware Engineer II presso CesiumAstro

You get to work with the smartest and best people in industry, on the most cutting-edge technology, with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something revolutionary in our generation. The company is known in the industry as the “Lamborghini of antennas and communication systems” The startup culture is never going to fit just anyone and everyone. It is a company that grows over 100% yoy for many consecutive years, and of course the team is gonna feel the pain because that’s how fast things are growing in all directions. As a result, the teams are expected to figure out, run and deliver in the same fashion without all the luxury of time to build infrastructures around it. No startup survives in the competition and this market without churning through similar pains.

Growing pains are real but the changes are happening in the right directions - equity plan, bonus, pays, benefits are being adjusted as the company generates more revenue. People who stayed choose to solve these hard problems because they believe in the mission and the DNA of this place. The hours and workloads could be long, but it’s not terrible - I have worked at places with way worse work life balances.

Toxic leadership, top down. Complete and utter chaos, coupled with delusion. It’s taxiing to be around so many people that are unhappy.
