Pros

Insurance coverage and free lunch. But nothing fancy.

Cons

Many staff resigned. In 6 months, about 10 left and company size is small because start up..maybe only 40 to 50 people. Company culture is staff must meet unrealistic due dates instead of produce good and long lasting results to generate revenue over the long run. Work not as good also accepted as long as meet the due date of now and tomorrow. Sales often receive late night texts and calls from their boss to have unimportant and irrelevant discussions. Boss only work through phone calls. Operations side staff shouts at each other angrily in office. Openly create hate against each other. Marketing department is messy. Nobody has stayed for one year. Creative work all by design agencies in pakistan and india. During launch of the satellite in usa, the agencies turned their backs on the company and the staff had to take over the work. Turnover rate for support staff also high as some have been "outcasted" from other people in office. Politics very bad. To thrive or to survive, must be good at handling office politics.

Kacific Response

Kacific is an innovative and fast-growing, multi-cultural venture. We started in 2013 to and now have over 50 staff around the globe. Many have been with us for over 4 years. We are incredibly proud of our small team. We work hard at building a strong culture, offering flexible hours and opportunities to try new things working alongside suppliers and partners in Asia, America, Europe, and Oceania. In December 2019, Kacific hit its largest milestone yet, launching Kacific-1, our $250 million communications satellite, into space and commencing commercial service. This is an exciting but busy time and one of rapid growth, which means our staff must adapt to regular change, be resilient, and be very comfortable with evolving processes. Job descriptions are fluid and there are always challenges to overcome. This environment is not suitable for everyone. In response, we have adjusted our HR recruitment strategy to improve our selection processes and avoid mismatches in future.

Pros

Some remote communities have been connected by their services. But it’s nowhere near what they claim it is on their marketing material.

Cons

Where do we start? - They have the HR department from hell - Many of us are leaving because we see the way the company is going belly up fast. - They are getting crushed in the market. so even if your spirits are not crushed first by their culture then you still end up jobless either way when they go bust.
