Pros

Great insurance and solid 401k - golden handcuffs, as others have mentioned. Seeing spacecraft being assembled and worked on is really cool and always makes me feel excited again - for a few minutes.

Cons

Private equity acquisition in 2023 and subsequent split of Maxar into two companies (Space in CA and Intelligence with groups in CO, MI, VA, FL) has just made formal a divide that already existed. There was never "one maxar", and now the companies are accelerating apart. Both companies have suffered layoffs and attrition - overworked teams are just getting even more spread thin. Short term and Long term incentive plans were both put on hold last year; "merit" raises did not keep up with cost of living. Promotions and "distinguished" engineer paths all were put on hold. R&D funding has been frozen. It's total hold-your-breath mode and hope the next round of layoffs don't hit you. New CEOs in both companies promise changes "real soon" - those that are still here need to hold them accountable if those promises are not delivered on.
