Pros
Intelsat has aggregated a functionally-operational fleet of bandwidth and supporting personnel. When it comes to keeping the system working and satisfying customers, there is always an overshoot of attention, resources, and work cycles to address a problem. Very senior, industry veterans populate the ranks, from management to engineering to technicians.
Cons
Industry trends are motivating corporate change, and Intelsat has a hard time adapting. From the perspective of the employee, it's almost impossible to execute on a long-term, majorly-beneficial project. Most of the attention is spent on revenue generation. This short term mentality has existed consecutively for many years, creating an enormous burden on engineers today. An engineer can't do the best job; he has to resolve to do the job enough and then move on to the next one.
