Pros

In the past was a technology leader.

Cons

Disrupted by Leo satellites. Starlink is winning their airline customers. Revenue is extremely tight due to two failed satellites. They were counting on the sats for cash flow revenue. Because of this, have been multiple layoffs and voluntary layoffs. They have lost a lot of their experienced people. The layoffs mean same workload but with fewer people.

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.
