Great experience so far

Pros

Remote work, very cool products, good performance is rewarded, liberal culture.

Cons

They are trying to get people back into the office for some reason, not sure why as nearly everyone I talk to does NOT want to go back. There are some teams who are very resistant to change, and that will hold the company back from growth. There are also teams who are unwilling to reach across the aisle and collaborate, again this will hold the company back.

Pros

Work from home, Great Technology, Interesting Impactful work.

Cons

Covid Vaccination Policy, Sr Leadership Lacks Conviction to stand by Employees. Sr Leadership threatens employees of losing their jobs if they are not Vaccinated. This is not leadership, leadership is to also serve your employees and find a way to keep employees.

Huge Improvements over the last few years

Pros

The company has changed a lot, so focus on newer reviews! In 2016, there was an "in-sourcing" effort, to consolidate all employees under Iridium instead of as contractors. This led to a lot of growing pains, but it was a huge improvement in the end. The company was able to remove the obstacles that were creating bad blood. Compensation is competitive, benefits are good, and there is an annual survey of employee satisfaction that leads to real action. Many of the issues that existed prior to the "in-sourcing" effort have been improved or resolved. The work environment is great for newer engineers. There is a lot of freedom to get your hands in many things. Teams are open to new ideas and radical changes. Red tape is minimal, but people *are* held accountable for their actions.

Cons

This is a smaller company, so moving up within the company will require that you be willing to branch out into new areas. If you specialize in one thing, you will only have a couple of shots in a decade to get promoted. If you want to be the undisputed expert of one thing, go to a much bigger company.
