Pros

Interesting areas of work. Smart people. Good benefits. Salary is not great but fair and you work for every bit of it.

Cons

Ancient management. Don't question status quo or authority. Management thinks that it always knows best in making decisions for you. Poor communications for a communications company. The world revolves around the Luxembourg facility. No room for advancement.

Pros

Still employed through many rounds of layoffs. Many options to learn with continuous technology changes. Opportunities to do other people's work for them. Opportunity for government bail out in the form of 5G spectrum sale.

Cons

The only employment opportunities are in India. Starting to tip the scales of diversity one direction. Employees are a number to the CEO. He only cares about himself and his bonus. There is no direction from upper management making lower management make decisions without properly validating integration with other stakeholders. No budget to integrate networks between legacy companies. It appears as though SES will hobble on the remaining infrastructure and employees until the next merger/buyout.
