Pros

What remains of Gogo culture.

Cons

For those reading: Look at location and whether they mention Florida or Ottowa. Those are the old SD locations and no one from old Gogo works there (yet, anyway). It's absolutely true that everyone was sent a "return to office" email from the new CEO on a Friday after 3pm effective the next Monday. He has no prior experience as a CEO and seems to think that treating everyone like we're in the military is the way to run a company. Since the acquision many C-suite Gogo people are gone. 5 out of 7 of the top people now at Gogo are men from SD. Gogo is now getting rid of DEI. DEI is one of the reasons Gogo was such a great company to work for. There is a serious lack of order, coordination, or documentation in the way the two companies are being integrated. I fear that this will lead to trouble down the road.

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

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.
