Pros
The office space is very nice.
Kontras
The executive team lacks the strategic vision to carry Exostar forward; decision-making is not data or research driven, and expectations are set at a very low bar. This culture is morally, emotionally, and intellectually corrosive. The company has a quizzical aversion to failure that makes it nearly impossible to innovate or try new things. Nevertheless, the company does not implement or consistently apply clear processes for achieving results which has affected the company's pipeline as it attempts to transform from a joint-venture with a shared-service model to a market-oriented organization. The executive leadership team is comprised of a group of bumbling fools who are afraid to be transparent and struggle to logically explain key business decisions. If you join the company against my and others' strong warnings not to, you will walk into chaos with poor new hire training and onboarding, and you will end up leaving soon thereafter. The company recently laid off several employees (the company does not offer severance) because of its inability to manage its pipeline. In your interview, they will tell you that turnover is a result of trying to find the right fit, but it's a lie. Process inefficiencies, lack of customer centricity, poor quality products, and terrible management are the reason Exostar has been unable to retain the few talented staff they attract. Moreover, Exostar doesn't promote diversity which can be seen through its predominantly white male leadership team. Several members of the executive leadership team have had inappropriate conversations filled with sexual innuendo and lewd subject matters which have made women feel deeply uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the human resource function is in the pockets of the executive leadership team and does not effectively ensure employees complaints are handled. The staff members within the organization typically lack the imagination, ingenuity, or are too burnt out to implement even the most basic technological innovations. I urge you to abide by the many warnings before you. Don't look away or excuse the negative reviews as just a few disgruntled employees. This company does not have strong documentation or knowledge-sharing practices and is well-known for targeting people who provide honest, constructive feedback.
