Pros

The technology is decent and interesting Global presence

Cons

- Everyone is scared to say or do the wrong thing - the culture is one of extreme fear and secrecy; everyone is tearing each other down in fear of being part of the next layoff or worse getting fired - CEO is cheap, deceitful, likes to micro-manage, speaks poorly about his C-Suite behind their back, has 0 regard for employee wellness and uses the HR team to spy on people and have them turn on each other. His goal seems to fire or layoff most of Orbcomm legacy employees and replace them with cheaper, less skilled labor. He also is forcing people back to the office, closing entire satellite locations and upending employee's entire lives while he gets to work remote. He has zero self-awareness... he will micro-manage and speak ill of his team members questioning their every move while he is in a T-shirt in his kitchen on Teams with his wife cooking in the background - absolutely unprofessional (his audacity is wild). - As I said before, if you try to give feedback to HR or peers, the feedback (even if its good for the business, based on common sense and frankly just the right thing to do) will come back to haunt you; they arent interested in being better - the message is clear albeit sent in silence: shut-up, comply and if you are in management... help the CEO fire people and cut costs.

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.
