Pros
If you are looking for a 9 to 5 job and want a good work/life balance. Not much else. Some of the main products are still feature packed and have good work .
Cons
Mismanaged, no vision , too much top down control. Features and timelines get micromanaged by the executives. Engineers and managers opinions are sidetracked. Company is risk averse and not ready to step out of its comfort zone. Used to be a good place to start out for new grads but wouldn't recommend it anymore since the future is not certain, at least for the Technology division. Other parts of the company like ESS and Hughes seem to be doing ok. Their Atlanta division was mismanaged out of existence. Infighting and ego clashes between executives lead to about 140 people getting laid off and one of the major new products being cut off. Product was developed without hiring any experts from the areas which we were entering, and when things went wrong the engineers where blamed. Benefits are bare minimum as is the pay. Vacation is ok, nothing great. With a money minded CEO, who is more interested in cost cutting than looking at employees as an asset , do not see any growth going forward , would recommend to look elsewhere.
