Pros

SES is the world's leading satellite operator. As such, it is 'on top of the wave'. There are plenty of opportunities to do something great and deliver impact.

Cons

As with any large organization, there is bureaucracy and office politics. You often have to have a thick skin.

Pros

Still employed through many rounds of layoffs. Many options to learn with continuous technology changes. Opportunities to do other people's work for them. Opportunity for government bail out in the form of 5G spectrum sale.

Cons

The only employment opportunities are in India. Starting to tip the scales of diversity one direction. Employees are a number to the CEO. He only cares about himself and his bonus. There is no direction from upper management making lower management make decisions without properly validating integration with other stakeholders. No budget to integrate networks between legacy companies. It appears as though SES will hobble on the remaining infrastructure and employees until the next merger/buyout.
