The major benefit has been the varied opportunities that present themselves for personal career growth

Senior Electrical Engineer (Current Employee)
Palo Alto, CA (US)

I have been working at Loral Space

ProsThis is a growing company with lots of opportunity to demonstrate leadership and to grow ones self professionally.

ConsProcesses involved in building satellites can be strict and confining. While understandable in light of the requirement for reliability in the space environment, this can be daunting for the uninitiated.

Advice to Senior ManagementDon't be too eager to implement whatever new fangled MBA mantra is the fashion of the day, without analyzing applicability to the satellite building low volume manufacturing environment.
