Vantaggi

* Nice colleagues * Location * Homeworking: 3 days

Svantaggi

* Very political work environment; Top-down micro-management style. * Continuous changes in the organizations; without a clear view this brings to the people or organisation. Changes are okay if this improves the workflow. However, having reorganizations every 6 months while the previous reorganization is not even implemented is not useful. * No communication; After the reorganization and layoffs people are kicked out without any respect. The management doesn't even communicate with the people who stay on board. We've noticed that people who you're working with are suddenly not there. * There is no good long-term strategy; Product development is not focused on the features that multiple customers need/want. Instead, they try to target a customer. When the customer drops off the development is stopped. Even the features that were developed and working are not reused for the next customer or product. * Short-term vision; There is no respect for the internal people or long-term contractors. Instead, they try to hire contractors with the skills they "need" without investing in the people that are pushing the company forward.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

- 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.
