JSat Automation Reviews

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.

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.
