Room full of Elephants fighting over a few peanuts - werkgeversreview Senior Payload Systems Engineer bij SSL

Great work environment, great people.

Not as much pay as other jobs in the area.

-very nice coworkers -company sponsors a ton of internal training - internal switching around jobs is encouraged- that is awesome - management tries to give anonymous surveys and do R2D2 efforts to help the company - if you work hard and manage time well, you can get away with regular 40-45 work hours most weeks - people willing to help and answer questions

- very slow.. HR is slow, parts take forever to get ordered.. things to be expected of a larger aerospace company - moral is SUPER low currently. Most of my group is depressed with the current job, where the company is headed, and our career opportunities at Loral - management doesn't know how to make company more efficient - unfortunately we don't get bonuses or raises, although it's a possibility this year - company doesnt recognize people too often. If you do well, you get more work even if you are newer to the group - performance-based bonus, if given, is based on how many years you've worked at Loral (what sense is this making?) - Pay low, benefits keep slipping every half year something major gets cancelled (worsen plan for glasses and PPO medical plan this round..) - before major layoffs, severance package is usually worsened - no innovation at all - it's unfair to blame the company here, as this is primarily driven by the customer (everyone wants proven parts)
