Pros
(This review is about Astroscale UK) There are some good things: - Environment is not bad, nice people -in general- - Office is cool, kitchens are well equipped, plenty of fruits and biscuits - In some teams you may learn something - Apparently a respected company, so you in theory gain experience
Cons
(Again, exclusively about the UK site) - The technical level is shockingly low. They don't have a structure of knowledge to guide more junior staff, only a structure of hierarchy. - Heavy hierarchy, no real space for discussions. - System engineering is a joke here. - Use of office tools instead of professional software - Some "peculiar" PM. You do the same and you are a bully. - A "leadership team" that neither lead or inspire and were never chosen to lead, here you are. - HR is a narcissistic cult. On the slides, oh, they are open to listen to you... but then, oh, bad luck. Either you are a sheep for them or become the wolf. No middle ground, no respect for you as a person.
