Pros

Great and knowledgeable engineers and great opportunities to support meaningful defense SATCOM work.

Cons

Worst management and culture especially within Contracts, Finance and HR teams, toxic overrated, micromanaging and insecure managers who only care about their benefits and show no interest in retaining talent or supporting junior staff and their growth. The moment you voice your opinion or recommendation, you are flagged and shown the door. It is such a shame that leadership empowers and enables this behavior. The parent company is interested in knowing what happens within this branch office but internal management use their proxy to hide policies, survey results and complaints. The company would rather use its resources to settle lawsuits than address these issues.

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.
