Pros

- Excellent new colleagues from the Inmarsat transaction - Lots of flexibility for family stuff - If you have an effective manager and they also have an effective manager, you'll likely enjoy your day-to-day

Cons

- Ineffective leadership which is mostly due to co-founder who is still CEO and does not have the skills, experience, or capability to lead a company of this size and in this competitive market - They hardly ever promote or provide meaningful pay increases, even if your "focal review" claims you're a top performer. Over the past 3 years, pay increases are not even on par with cost of living increase due to inflation - There's literally no strategy and there hasn't been in the several years I've worked here. We have been constantly in "strategy mode" for years and years.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
