Pros

Ultranauts was founded in 2013 by two MIT engineers. Since its origination, the company's annual revenue growth average is fifty percent. Known for using the talent of neurodiverse staff, Ultranauts performs exceptional data quality software and testing services for their clients in many industries. Evidence of the outstanding data quality services of Ultranauts to its clients lie in the company's three rewards (Solve MIT, Fast Breakthrough, Interbrand Breakthrough Brands), and how neurodiverse aptitudes are closely aligned with the client companies' data quality requirements. I have experienced great support, training and guidance from all my superiors, from the CEO down to my managers and co-workers, while working on a major project for my client. Ultranauts excels in utilizing the skills of neurodiverse professionals to contribute to the society. They know how to work with and empower autistic professionals with compassion, training and encouragement every day the staff reports to work, which is 100% remote. I have really loved working at Ultranauts, which has led to my growth both as a person and as a professional.

Cons

My co-workers and I have never had any concerns or negative experiences while working at Ultranauts.

Pros

* Friendly co-workers and management. * Client work is usually interesting, and most clients are easy to work with. * Invested in employee psychological safety and has innovated tools to track and resolve issues affect psychological safety. Specifically, they present themselves as being genuinely interested in hiring neurodivergent people.

Cons

* Has been struggling financially and to retain clients for the past 2.5 years, leading to them having hemorrhaged a sizable portion of their staff in that period through many rounds of layoffs. * Seems more interested in hiring "expert partners" and outside skilled people from elsewhere in the industry as consultants than developing and training internal talent. * Some clients and client projects are duds, and unpleasant to work on, due to both the nature of the work, client expectations, and personalities of client contacts, and Engagement/Quality Managers on projects aren't always effective at sufficiently advocating for Ultranauts team members when issues come up. * Company/senior management is heavily interested in getting into federal contracts and working with the (current) federal government of the United States, despite all the current instability and hostility towards autism and neurodivergence associated with the current administration.
