Pros

Except of a few colleagues nothing good here.

Cons

Incompetent management with no experience. Promotion through nepotism only. They do not provide proper training and employee development, neither career opportunities. Poor management, no applied leadership principals. If you question decisions, you are out. Managers have a tendency to share made up data with each other and executives. No involvement, no development, no clear goals, no recognition, no information, no honesty, no vision. SMART, Lean, leadership, dedication, project management, change management, product management, onboarding and offboarding procedures, informed decision making, risk management, budgeting are typically unknown terms here. Working here is a guess-work day by day. Now they are hiring seniors in panic hoping they will have the power and ability to turn things around which makes employees nervous.

Pros

The work environment is exceptional, the training and onboarding program is top-notch, and the camaraderie creates a pleasant work environment. I am truly very happy with my decision to join ORBCOMM.

Cons

The insurance benefits are confusing and not very attractive, apart from that, they offer other benefits such as a cellphone, internet, a GYM, etc.
