      Pros

      Good coworkers and cool customers.

      Cons

      Would not recommend working at Maxar until Advent finishes gutting the company. Maxar recently revised the company values and removed "You matter", which tells employees how they view us. Leadership has laid off too many employees versus shifting them to teams that have active contracts which desperately need more people, yet another leadership failure. Furthermore, top talent is fleeing Maxar, as the company refusing to give competitive compensation packages. Existing employees are being over worked as a result of poor leadership with no clear vision and are not compensated, which is resulting in more talent fleeing. Leadership told us that they can't give raises because we are x million in the hole.... how much did we pay the last c-suite to resign....doesn't take a rocket scientist to track the money flow. Furthermore leadership basically told us they don't care that talent is fleeing, they will just hire fresh graduates. Over all, I'm very sad with how Advent has gutted Maxar. Maxar use to be a great place to work at with great leadership. Now its just a sinking ship

      Pros

      The older version of the company (Maxar) was a pretty solid mission.

      Cons

      Where to begin? Over my time at Maxar (then the "rebrand" to Vantor,) I watched this company completely devolve. Owned by private equity, this company is a world class example of a reprehensible, integrity lacking dumpster fire that will tout themselves as being a great place to work, pro veteran, bla bla bla...then FLAGRANTLT, REPEATEDLY, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY: -Lie, -Manipulate, -Promote questionable individuals who negatively impact security, and actively discriminate, take advantage of, and then kick to the curb multiple disabled veterans. The most pathetic part is that the one department you would hope would have integrity routinely, consistently, as well as being well documented, Cybersecurity- had ZERO INTEGRITY. ZERO LEADERSHIP, AND ACTIVELY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST MULTIPLE VETERANS. Besides creating the most toxic environment possible, and supported by a complete whiny, tantrum throwing CEO who is just responsible for appeasing the private equity sleazebags who care about nothing and nobody other than their bottom line, (who then actively hurt it by routinely letting documented high performers go so they can rinse and repeat by cutting costs, even when they are trying to screw over disabled veterans.
