Pros

-Work on plenty of cool projects -Constant new learning opportunities

Cons

-Average to below-average pay -Tremendously overworked 12+ hour days -All employees are dispensable. 5 coworkers laid off in 1 month and the employees didn't know why -Leadership has high IQ but low EQ (emotional intelligence) -No overtime pay despite expectation to work double time -Most people come in at 9am but often work until 12am or later, coworkers worked until 3-4am several times -Culture is very much toxic and burnout heavy -Little transparency, leaving employees clueless on expectations -Job insecurity and a lack of leadership accountability or support -Follow the cultish environment or be punished -Disrespectful and unprofessional at times, "locker room" talk at work -Illusion of hyper innovation to get relentless productivity out of you (great for the company, but horrible for you & your family) -Scrambling to find revenue generating contracts -Several vendors were owed huge amounts of money (6+ figures) for long periods of time (many months/year) -No retirement 401k match or other industry standard benefits

Turion Space Response

We're sorry to hear your experience was negative. Turion Space is fast-growing, highly competitive startup with ambitious goals, and the pace and workload can be intense. This environment can be incredibly rewarding for those who thrive in it, but we also recognize that it isn’t the right fit for everyone — and that’s okay. We also want to address the concern around dismissals. At Turion, no employee is ever dismissed without a reason. While individuals may not always agree with or support the rationale behind a decision, every termination is based on clear justification and careful consideration. Turion continues to invest in our team with several enhancements to our 2026 benefit offerings, including 401k employer contribution, 100% covered dental and vision as well as competitive medical and voluntary benefits.

Pros

Most people at the company are nice to work with and working hard on difficult problems

Cons

- Leadership priorities are extremely disconnected from the rest of the company - Founders are not up to the job at the company’s current size, inhibiting the work of more experienced employees - Company cannot decide what their longterm priorities or path to profitability are (other than asteroid mining) and are falling behind competitors in core technologies
