      JSat is not the same company that I started working for

      Pros

      Friendly coworkers and small company

      Cons

      JSat is no longer recognizable to the company I started working at years ago, and it truly makes me sad. The company culture has broken, upper management were once people I looked up to and trusted, but many events that transpired in the last year I worked there changed that. Turnover is high, people have either left or been terminated. Work and hiring at my location stagnated. JSat has the fewest benefits of any company I have worked at. Low salary for location and job, low number of vacation days and combined with sick days, cheap health insurance, 5 days for maternity leave, 3% match IRA, and frugal in every regard. One of the perks JSat used to have is flexibility to work from home, but that is now gone as well with a forced hybrid return to work policy. I hope this company can turn things around, it used to be a great place to work, but it looks bleak.

      Micromanaging Policies

      Pros

      Friendly coworkers and offices located in major cities

      Cons

      Recent policies have been put in place that appear to excessively regulate employees' timesheets, mentioning penalties such as mandatory unpaid leaves without clearly defining the specific conditions, and transitioning from remote work to a hybrid model. Despite earlier indications that the year-end bonus would be issued in early 2024, it has not been received as of mid-March. There are also issues with parental leave limited to five days, a lack of women in upper management, transparency issues, a culture of blame and lack of ownership in upper management, delayed retirement contributions, and expectations of overtime work without compensation. There are only 6 paid holidays.

      A Family of Talented and Cooperative Engineers

      Pros

      JSat Automation is truly the best place I've ever worked. I'm so proud to be part of this family of talented and cooperative engineers. Everyone here has a different technical background, but we all work together to give our customers the best possible solution and help each other learn and grow along the way. We focus on the job and then grab a beer together after work. I believe I am paid fairly for the work I do. I even received a generous bonus my first year here. I joined JSat to be challenged in a new way every day. I've learned so quickly here; every project and client we work with have different requirements. My teammates set high expectations for me, but never micromanage. This is a happy place for self-driven people. When I am learning something new, my team allows me room to struggle with problems without letting me fail. So JSat has perfectly met my expectations as far as the work. I often work more than 40 hours just because I'm so engaged in whatever problem I'm trying to solve. At the same time, JSat understands that I am a human with a family and commitments outside of work. The work hours can be flexible when I have something I need to take care of.

      Cons

      Small companies like JSat can't offer the exact same benefits as a Fortune 500-type large company. We do not have discount programs, employee stock purchase plan, FSA, or 401(k). We do have the best available retirement plan (an IRA with employer contributions), health/dental insurance (PPO including HSA), and vacation policies possible given the size of the company and the aggressive growth we are pursuing. If you want to zone out at a desk for 40 hours a week, this isn't the place for you! Honestly, the work environment is worth these minor trade-offs. I would still recommend JSat to a smart, hard-working friend.
