Pros

The technicians are almost all pretty good and capable people. Very cool work with the possibility to assist in launch operations. Have historically been open to people without specific space or even technical background. Great resume builder.

Cons

Very little organizational transparency. This includes information about the specific direction of the company, deadlines, hold ups, and even organizational charts and working hours. Very little floor and process organization. Almost no functional training. MANY last minute mandatory hour shifts including mandatory overtime and full schedule changes with very little, if any, notice. It has ranged from maybe two weeks notice on the better end down to *that day* on the low end. This isn't inherently a con but if you want a job where you walk in, they give you a task, then you do that task it's fine as long as you're okay with frequently poor, vague, or incorrect work instructions.

Pros

Motivated and ambitious employees are rallying together at York for honorable satellite missions for government contracts and commercial. It is an extremely collaborative work environment where you can walk up to the desk of a coworker that wants to help you succeed. It’s an environment of “doers” that want to collaborate and work hard. York also encourages new ideas and innovations and there is no red tape to get through to try new ideas. It’s a breath of fresh air to be encouraged to try new solutions and ideas in the workplace! Benefits are great with being fully employer paid and higher than average holidays off (MLK, Presidents’ Day, Juneteenth, day after thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, etc in addition to standard)

Cons

Growing rapidly is hard for any company. York could put more effort into keeping strong talent in all departments.

Pros

They have accomplished much as a new space technology company and been successful at winning contested business. They continue to invest in the company vision and roadmap through M&A. They've found a niche they're really good at. Good benefits. Lots of good people throughout the ranks. Free coffee.

Cons

Definitely an inner circle of leadership that doesn't communicate well. Not a lot of interest in personnel development and growth. There can be a blame and shame culture during high-stress times. Not a lot of recognition or appreciation for long hours of hard work. Leadership doesn't like to be challenged. A lot of paranoia and secrets. Don't expect promotions unless you're willing to make York your top life priority. There are a couple of pretty poor leaders who seem to be retained because of personal friendships.
