Pros

The majority of staff make working there bearable. Made some genuine friends.

Cons

Senior management are the worst I’ve ever worked under. Zero support for staff, no trust in staff, high levels of finger pointing and blame culture but no praise for impressive work. Working extra hours is an expectation despite zero benefit from doing so. Combine this with a tough market and a lack of company direction and you’re left with a once good company full of nice people, being run into the ground and morale on the floor. A huge shame as the majority of staff are great and deserve better.

Pros

I learned a lot from my colleagues during my time here and gained valuable experience dealing with tricky clients, which helped me grow as an account manager. The challenges I faced definitely contributed to my professional development. On a lighter note, the Christmas parties used to be a highlight—well-organized and enjoyable, bringing teams together in a positive way.

Cons

This company is currently on a mission to improve its poor Glassdoor reputation by encouraging employees to post overly positive reviews. Unfortunately, this approach feels disingenuous and raises questions about the company's ethics. The work culture is plagued by a blame-oriented environment, poor management practices, and a policing mentality that focuses on finding faults rather than fostering growth or collaboration. High turnover among account managers is a clear indicator of these issues, as many have chosen to leave due to the lack of support and toxic leadership. Despite recent positive reviews, they don't reflect the reality of the workplace. Human Resources is ineffective, and recent changes in that department AST unbearable, you won't get support or real advice. Since moving to the competition within the satcom sector, I couldn’t be happier. If you're considering working here, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
