      Good ol boy club

      Software developer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are good. Many great people.

      Cons

      IT management is a bizarre group of people. Mostly a good ol boy atmosphere and if you don't play along, you will be put on the 'do not fly' list. Zero career growth and given the silent treatment. They will go out of business soon because 1) their product is horrible. 2) Space x will see to it.

      Don't even bother to try working with HR

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent place for an engineer overall. The work is interesting and there are smart people on the engineering teams. There are some "us vs. them" attitudes from people who have been with the company a long time. From what I hear it used to be much better 10+ years ago.

      Cons

      They are struggling like most companies which is no surprise with the supply chain issues. HR is the group to avoid here. From the beginning, it was about working around HR to get to talk with the hiring manager (I applied - did not hear back from anyone for a couple of weeks. I then reached out to a manager on LinkedIn who passed along my resume to the hiring manager who called me right away). After that, it was the hiring manager and the team that pushed to make things happen (not HR). Even after you're hired they seem to have no interest in being a part of your success or helping you unless there is something in it for them that makes them look good or if you are part of senior leadership. They definitely do not walk the talk.
