Current Employee – been working at Loral Space

Pros – This is a growing company with lots of opportunity to demonstrate leadership and to grow ones self professionally.

Cons – Processes involved in building satellites can be strict and confining. While understandable in light of the requirement for reliability in the space environment, this can be daunting for the uninitiated.
