Pros
-The best part of my period in Astranis is meeting with and working with an extremely sharp and humble group of people that motivated me to come to work. I felt grateful. -It is guaranteed that your work will create an impact on the products that the company is trying to make. You will be getting a lot of responsibilities no matter what your previous experiences are. This might be a bit overwhelming at the beginning but you'll find a lot of encouragement and help from the extremely sharp people around you. -There is no blaming culture. Even if you think that you made a mistake, you are encouraged to step up and tell what has happened and what needs to be done to make it corrected. I witnessed this by myself and I was appreciated. -C-Suite folks are nice and approachable persons. They are doing the environment really comfortable.
Cons
-Astranis shares the cons of most startups, I believe. Sometimes I was having some trouble balancing work and my life after work. Extensive use of slack was making me a bit nervous during the hours that we were not expected to work (yes, there is no expectation to work but slack/emails don't stop). -No 401k matching, no bonus. Delayed raises. -Not well-structured promotion mechanisms although the company has initiated work on that. I could not figure out how we can get promoted.
