Pros

Remaining staff from before merger are fantastic workers.

Cons

New CEO is taking away benefits, punishing employees for events external to the company, and ruining what used to be one of the best places to work in Colorado. He recently forced 5 days a week in office with 24 hours notice on people who have had hybrid schedules for years and built their lives and families around that. Meanwhile, he has been nowhere to be seen, and misses important meetings and events any competent CEO would attend.

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.
