      Pros

      Cutting edge mobile telecoms technology merging cellular and satellite domains. Small, friendly office which welcomes new employees. Very competitive compensation package with 25 days holidays, decent pension contribution and good health allowances. Good location in Killarney. Exposure to global satellite network providers with the potential to shape an area of the industry. Opportunity to works with European institutions such as ESA.

      Cons

      Distance from Cork - which was the main reason I decided to leave, though some home working is possible.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - In the end, I liked and respected my teammates. A non-toxic, friendly, inclusive environment all around. - Sometimes we get office pizza.

      Cons

      - Layoffs large and small have been a yearly occurrence since 2023. The most recent layoff stripped the place to the bone. - Bad vibes and taking morale. It may improve one day, but at time of writing it feels like a dying company. - Latest product has, at time of writing, zero (0) customers. - Business outlook is truly abysmal. The real innovation in the satellite communication industry happens at SpaceX, Amazon, Eutelsat, Blue Origin, etc, not here, and it shows in the company's financials. - Development experience is AWFUL. Simple tasks like building code or running tests are painful and themselves tend to break. - Legacy code and tech debt is bad as the company hasn't really made a truly new product in over a decade.
