      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Solid, world-renown capability in its core competencies: Earth observation products and spacecraft building.

      Cons

      Uncertain future as Advent International private equity slices up the business with unknown future plans for both major segments. Job cuts continue.

      Too much management overhead

      Director, systems engineering
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Chill work environment addressing pretty big technical problems without having to work in a defense-only environment. Relatively high-caliber technical staff.

      Cons

      Just like the title says. While it was transparent to me as I was getting started at the company a few years ago, it wasn't long until the complicated legal structure and management structure that comes from being built of many other companies caught up to me and made it difficult to get things done. It adds layers of bureaucracy that you don't experience in other companies this size. Sure, you'd expect it from Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, or AWS, but not from a 4000-ish company. It's pretty paralyzing at times. I noted relatively high-caliber technical staff. Not positive I can say the same for support staff but I often wonder if it is just that they are held back by lack of autonomy.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The high resolution imagery leader

      Cons

      Private equity trying to transform to a software analytics company where Vantor isn't a leader.
