Software Engineer Review at Maxar

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Cool use cases, Maxar works with SpaceEx and other satellite and space companies to deliver some incredible products

Cons

- You have to work for said satellite team or production team to experience to most exciting part - I was part of a software development team for technologies used by satellites and air vehicles and it sounds fun but my technology stack was terrible. Someone decided to use Java for front end, back end, and the data base. This is extremely questionable and there was no documentation throughout which made this a horrible experience to debug and develop new features within.
