Astroscale US - Great Colleagues, Great Mission, Disappointing Management
Pros
-Vast majority of staff from most junior to below director level positions are enthusiastic, motivated, and collaborative. -Inspiring focus on space sustainability. -Best company bar in the space industry in the Denver office. -Executive management did great job building out the US office from nothing, but...
Cons
-One (or a few) bad apples and some leadership bad moves ruined the experience... -Passively aggressive, micromanaging, telling-half-truths immediate supervisor who secretly plays team off of one another. -Executive team promoted themselves and hired new leadership positions of questionable/redundant value (and with questionable experience) to Sr VP levels to make it look like a much more experienced company ahead of IPO on Japan market while low-balling raises of rest of staff. -No thank you, no why are you leaving, don't let the door hit you in the rear on the way out from executive management. -Strategy of focusing on software with no in-house hardware vertical integration makes it tough to compete on price due to cost roll-ups.
