Pros

Very Nice Co-Workers No Micro Managment

Cons

If there is no micro management at this company, it is because there really isn't management at all. There is a lot of talk about innovation and improvement, but the infrastructure is so far behind the times (my team had no central place for documentation...SharePoint was accessible, but for whatever reason not used. Walking around the building gives one the sense you are at a company that is stuck in 2001. This doesn't bode well for a company that provides the services it does. (I don't mean to be harsh...there are a lot of great people here that do great work...but far too much time is spent in competition with other departments rather that collaborative work that could move the company forward.)

Pros

Market leader, innovative, great engineering team.

Cons

Sometimes you are kept on a position longer than you want just because you are very effective at it. Which makes hard for you to be allowed to move to a different position.

Pros

Engineering knowledge is valued. Getting hired is easy if you understand software engineering, networking and satellite communication.

Cons

Does not promote women engineers. Managers discriminate employees based on personal friendship. Managers are not held accountable for growing their team members.
