Pros

An interesting industry with fun tech and integrated operations (manufacturing, software, etc)

Cons

Cockiness coming from years of no competition made it so leadership could not adapt to a changing market, but they desperately held onto their positions (without actually changing or growing their own skills) while everyone under them worked to keep the business green. This is even before their recent acquisition. Now, there is talk of missing paychecks or bonuses, HR and harassment issues, and continued layoffs. Gogo for years was one of the best in the business and a very happy to place to work. Not anymore.

Comfortable, empathetic culture that makes work a joy - each and every day. Strong sense of ethical fortitude toward customers, both internal and external.

Poor integration between development and production teams.

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.
