Pros

- Learned a lot about writing and deploying microservices to the cloud - Had both a great manager and great coworkers

Cons

- Disagreements at the C-suite level led to some dramatic (and negative) changes in tech leadership - Some poor decisions, overly-optimistic projections, and bad luck led to an even more dramatic removal of the then-CEO

Pros

It's the best place to work if you like being treated like a child.

Cons

Don't believe the good reviews. Satcom Direct and their leaders have destroyed Gogo. The culture in Colorado has slowly been dismantled and replaced by a strict, militaristic style of managing and processes. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. Teams that were once cohesive and effective have been torn apart with reorganizations, resignations, and layoffs. Everyone answers to multiple micromanagers who do not know how to lead. Every 15 minutes of your day is examined and criticized. No talking, unless it's work related. Don't stop typing. Don't suggest improvements or question the roadmap, because SD does everything perfectly, even when they don't. Just follow orders and put on a happy face.
