Three rounds of layoffs, but they offer great salaries and prioritize remote work within the company. - Engineering Slingshot Aerospace Employee Review

Pros

- Remote first company - Great work/life balance - Friendly staff - Well above average pay - Lots of great perks

Cons

- They panic and layoff - In May 2023 they laid off what felt like ~30% the company - Later in 2023 they laid off another large portion of the company - Most of the people laid off had fantastic performance reviews - Pathetic severance packages

Pros

Super interesting and fulfilling work. Company has grown to overcome its hard financial past. Mostly transparency from the top down is good, frequent company open mics and opportunities to discuss with higher ups. Full time remote with no chance of a rug pull return to office mandate. I really enjoy my team.

Cons

I do wish the company would prioritize more ambitious R&D projects, facilitating collaboration across teams and departments.

Pros

Remote work environment, interesting projects.

Cons

The engineering organization lacked structure and alignment. After applying for a full-time role, I was later informed that only one-year contract positions were available, indicating a lack of clarity in hiring practices.
