Pros

1. The company's goals and roadmap are very clear. 2. Much can be learned from the development of the SAR satellite. 3. Excellent and friendly colleagues. 4. Compensation depends on your performance, not on years of experience. 5. Plenty of support for employees (technical/language tuition fees, work-from-home allowance, round-trip airfare per year...) 6. Bonus: stock options. 7. CEO and GM are very open in sharing information. Have the feeling that Synspective is your own company. 8. You can talk and raise your opinion/ideas with the CEO and GM anytime you want. 9. Flexible working environment, work-life balance. 10. Office layout looks good.

Cons

Will be updated 1 year later.

Pros

English environment. Same level peers are easy to talk to. Pay for flight back home annually.

Cons

I heard this line from 2 different teams within my 1st month. “People with prior experience in the space industry can have it harder here”. Well, it’s not like we are all coming from NASA or ESA right? Do you not think that the engineering here is problematic if space industry hires are pretty much all exiting the company in less than a year? Meanwhile the people who come from outside the industry are accepting this dysfunctional engineering because they do not know better. Which just further propagates this toxic cycle. Do not look at their launch cadence as an indicator of their engineering performance, because their satellite lifecycle might be a lot shorter than what you are used to, if you come from the space industry.

Pros

Open and approachable culture. Allows use of English for internal communications. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Some language/communication barriers still exist. For foreign residents, pay didn't increase with decreasing yen value.
