Sleek aesthetic office The gym is nice.

Management here is all about their friends and who can shmooze the best. They don’t care about the employees. Extremely toxic working environment.

Pros

They have accomplished much as a new space technology company and been successful at winning contested business. They continue to invest in the company vision and roadmap through M&A. They've found a niche they're really good at. Good benefits. Lots of good people throughout the ranks. Free coffee.

Cons

Definitely an inner circle of leadership that doesn't communicate well. Not a lot of interest in personnel development and growth. There can be a blame and shame culture during high-stress times. Not a lot of recognition or appreciation for long hours of hard work. Leadership doesn't like to be challenged. A lot of paranoia and secrets. Don't expect promotions unless you're willing to make York your top life priority. There are a couple of pretty poor leaders who seem to be retained because of personal friendships.

Collaborative environment with engaged employees

Pros

Motivated and ambitious employees are rallying together at York for honorable satellite missions for government contracts and commercial. It is an extremely collaborative work environment where you can walk up to the desk of a coworker that wants to help you succeed. It’s an environment of “doers” that want to collaborate and work hard. York also encourages new ideas and innovations and there is no red tape to get through to try new ideas. It’s a breath of fresh air to be encouraged to try new solutions and ideas in the workplace! Benefits are great with being fully employer paid and higher than average holidays off (MLK, Presidents’ Day, Juneteenth, day after thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, etc in addition to standard)

Cons

Growing rapidly is hard for any company. York could put more effort into keeping strong talent in all departments.
