Pros

Some colleagues are genuinely good people. Decent pay. Huge potential for technical growth but not possible due to Cons.

Cons

New leadership is all talk. They created a toxic finger pointing environment in already siloed style management. Not one leader has clear vision or roadmap for taking the platform to next level. They will continue to work with bare minimum functioning product if it secures their job and willingly not put any effort in improving the below par platforms. As long as they can show some made up numbers to the shareholders. For a company with tag line as "Where Data Drives Decision" there is no research or innovation culture and mostly prefer delivering sub par products which looks like a college major project. No one has passion or vision for truly making the company products a standard as a market leader.

Pros

The work environment is exceptional, the training and onboarding program is top-notch, and the camaraderie creates a pleasant work environment. I am truly very happy with my decision to join ORBCOMM.

Cons

The insurance benefits are confusing and not very attractive, apart from that, they offer other benefits such as a cellphone, internet, a GYM, etc.
