Ursa Major Technologies Reviews

(sorry for the wall of text but there's a lot) I would've likely given the company 5 stars for the majority of the time I worked there alas red flags through rose-colored glass just look like flags. But with time I could see both the rot creeping in and the issues largely there in the first place such as: A complete and utter lack of ability to do any real job training leads to employees' consistent failure, especially at the entry-level. While I was essentially bullied for needing help while working with hardware as I did not come from the likes of SpaceX like the "Cool People" but don't worry was told multiple times they'd help me only for that to never come, and to be looked at like a moron. Within the second day of my work, I was basically just forced to learn the entire internal systems and process with little to no help and be up and outputting ASAP. In the many times I struggled was given vague feedback little advice and no training or guidance on how to improve. If you don't already have extensive aerospace experience and can't be outputting day 1 don't work here. Meetings, hard to get actual work done when half the time I'm in the office I'm in a meeting. They can talk about diversity all they want, which does exist at the lower ranks, but senior leadership is largely white, male, and ex-spaceX buddies. Extreme disorganization. My entire tenure there I lacked something as simple as a true job description. While I only had one boss on paper, in practice I actually had multiple all with different tasks often contradictory or overlapping with other's work making me look like I was just wasting time. Vague tasks and a lack of measurable goals were the norm. What was I supposed to design to, sometimes it was well defined, but often I was digging through vague documents or working around the different, sometimes contradictory opinions of people and often took the brunt of it when it led to issues. They can talk about work-life balance but I was there longer than 9-5, was taking work home for hours nightly and I still wasn't keeping up with my workload, a workload that looking back was two different roles worth of work. Took months to recover from the burnout I had developed post-employment. Cult like, even after layoffs people are still talking like this is the best place ever and they're going to be rich. A lot of people whose entire social lives are almost entirely interacting with their coworkers. Hope you like company events because if you want to be in the in-group you've got to be going to those, Honestly seemed to be a more valued metric than actual performance. Garbage tier severance, considering the obvious financial issues, you may want to know how good this is in the event you job gets cut, hope you have savings. In conclusion, this company has failed me, many others, and quite honestly themselves if they actually still follow the values they preach. Something I highly doubt. There's much more I could say but I'd probably more or less give away who I was if I did so.
