Pros

I used to really like this company and what it stood for but now it is just about the numbers and people getting laid off randomly even top performers.

Cons

Two mass layoff in 6 months, Two major satellite failures. StarLink is beating them with major customers.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
