Pros

Maxar is one of the few commercial space companies in the US. if one wants to work in space but not directly for the DOD there are opportunities.

Cons

Maxar is not a stable company at the moment as they were recently purchased by a PE firm.

Pros

-Relatively interesting and cool job -You will be paid a little bit more than you would be as a retail worker

Cons

-You will be paid a little bit more than you would be as a retail worker, even if you have a decade of expirience in your field. -Managers and executives are the most incompetent I have ever encountered. I'm prior enlisted so this is quite an accomplishment -Lowest pay in the industry - Managers treat employees (even ones with a decade plus of expirience) like children - Company loves the dollar signs behind contracts, but are unwilling to allocate required resources to completing the contracts. No respect to customers or attempt at quality is given - When they bring up the previous problem, Managers will essentially try to blackmail you ot weaponize HR. - Company overpromises to customers, employees pay for it in burnout - The way contracts are negotiated is the most backwards I have ever seen. A contract due at the end of the year won't be thru negotiating until the end of the 2nd quarter of that year. Guess who's on the hook? Not the Managers, the workers. - You know the meme about managers giving you a pizza party instead of a raise that is at least half what inflation is? Maxar embodies it. - The software utilized by this company is the most backwards and upside-down I have ever seen. You basically have to learn how to be a system administrator to use it. - Lots of promises are made every year a quarter. Most are lip service. - A lot of unnecessary stress, the job is super simple, leadership and software overcomplicates everything and the company is completely unwilling to get out of its own way. - Promotions are given to manager buddies, not people with years more expirience.
