Pros
- Definitely had the opportunity(not really a choice) to learn A LOT about the overall satellite AI&T life cycle. Prepared me for a big move in Aerospace, particularly Space. - Was able to take on a huge role with a lot of visibility
Cons
- Extreme pressure from program, management, etc., non-stop pushing towards schedule and often unrealistic goals. - Some of the people are difficult to work with, stuck on old-ways of doing things and some are manipulative. - Expect to work a lot of overtime and weekends, and be guilt tripped into doing so. - Management does not care about your well-being. I developed and currently still deal with an anxiety disorder, alopecia, and insomnia from the months of constant stress - currently seeing multiple physicians to help. - Hi-Bay was the most volatile, difficult, and aggressive environment to work in.
