Pros

I get to work on challenging projects with a fun, smart, enthusiastic team. There are many opportunities to learn new skills and advance. Work is mostly in person. The other negative reviews are honest, but are from the few people who quit or were fired during a hiring spree.

Cons

York does not put any effort into hiring a diverse workforce. The CEO does not allow employees to enter or exit the building through the front door. Employees must open up a gate in the back to enter through a door next to the loading dock, then climb up a dark, all black stairway with no windows. The CEO still uses the front door. The CEO planned the building's tenant improvements, and made his private bathroom the same size as the employee bathroom. People have to wait in line to relieve themselves. The building is dark and dreary inside with all black walls. Many of the other positive reviews popped up all in the same week after York started to face hiring issues due to the negative reviews on glassdoor. The positive reviews may have been influenced by management.

Pros

York is an engineering led company. We have a great product and world-class engineering team. I've never worked for a team with such a consistently high level of talent and also such a collegiate environment. I joined York because I enjoy building hardware while continuing to learn new thing and I get to do both every day here. I left working for the primes because I was tired of reactionary process without purpose and mission assurance that only assured no mission. But I also passed on new space companies that had no respect for all the hard lessons learned over the many years of space flight. In York, I found the perfect balance between the two extremes.

Cons

I always lose to Amanda or Swink at board games night
