      "Old" Aerospace Company at its Core

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + Cool that its in SF proper. Cool Office. + There's a core of great technical contributors to work with.

      Cons

      - The company at its core functions as an old aerospace company. It will claim it is a new space leader, SpaceX style, etc. But in reality it bureaucratic: focusing more on gantt charts and slides rather than launching great hardware at rate. - It is a PM centric operation, not engineering/technical centric. - Unclear direction from upper leadership, contradicting messaging from bloated middle management. - Your raise and benefits are tied more to upper management performance (fundraising) than your own. - Comp is not industry/SF competitive

      Poor quality hardware military contractor

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Used to attract smart engineers who were willing to work hard for low pay to try to connect the unconnected - a few of those folks are left

      Cons

      They abandoned the commercial side of the business and are chasing military contracts. They only ever try to hire to fix issues; root causes of issue (largely lack of/ quality of management) are never addressed. Super toxic culture - 'only positive vibes' and the answer to problems is always to force people to work overnight shifts, weekends, to fix problems caused by bad management. Hardware is crap due to lack of most of the company caring, and a persistent culture of getting to the next visible milestone slightly faster, never quality. CTO 'doesn't believe' in systems engineering, so systems are a mess and again it is up to engineers to work overtime to fix it on the back end. Promotions are political; much of the senior leadership is completely unqualified but has worked at Astranis their whole career and knows how to brown-nose Gedmark - the true requirement for career success. Only thing keeping the company afloat is Gedmark's superb ability to con investors.
