- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Young environment, interesting projects. Pretty fast paced with lots of hard working people, passionate about working in space.
Cons
Some growing pains that affect the overall workflow. Management is addressing these concerns and it's steadily improving.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Compared to other companies, the pay is good for a technician position. Coworkers are friendly. The CEO has a lot of potential.
Cons
There is a big lack of planning. Tasks are created spontaneously without proper consideration. Technician are on their own, no support and no training. Some senior engineer closed to new ideas. No opportunity for advancement. Your salary is not dependent on your skills, but on the worker's union. Sometimes there is nothing to do and other times your are asked to perform too many tasks in an unrealistic timeframe. Layoffs are common.

Low compensation with low annual merit increases Outdated timesheet software system Perpetually in a state of reorganizing senior management since the merger

Pros
Health and dental, generous pension plan, management is good, and there is potential for growth.
Cons
The parking lot at the office is awful. There are potholes the size of basketballs and trucks frequently get stuck having to turn the corners. The coffee is bad.

Pros
Beware of this company, they are scammers. They try to lure young people in by promising exciting space jobs - but pay you and work you like a slave. They have so many managers, yet the company is incredibly mismanaged. Go figure. It’s essentially a bunch of boomers getting paid $100k+ salaries, walking around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. Also, they really aren’t working on anything innovative. The space sector in Canada is pretty non-existent (thanks, Liberal party). If you really want to work in space, you should probably head over to the states because this ain’t it. Seriously though, live in the most expensive city in Canada but barely get paid $50k after taxes = great life, right? Pathetic.
Cons
Pay is extremely low. Modern day slavery. Too many old people who don’t let young people do anything. HR is nonexistent and move at a glacial pace. Also full of old people… hmm are you seeing the same trend I am?
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
