Pros

Not a lot. They provide lunch free of charge and that is pretty much the only perk.

Cons

Hyper exploitive. The wages are extremely low, far lower than a living wage. They expect oil field style hours. The managers are not on your side, they are going to promise a lot and deliver little. They regularly hire people with extensive engineering and/or technical experience at entry level positions and pay and then refuse to move them into more appropriate pay rates or positions. They will lie to you and gas light you if you mention the poor pay and work conditions. If you don't fake like you are a happy employ they will threaten to fire you. This is not a company for people who have families they want to see grow and who they need to care for financially. Management is not on your side.

Management has no idea what they are doing. Employees are not supported and have no work instructions or any idea what they are supposed to be doing. No direction from management

Pros

There is nothing positive about AST SpaceMobile, unless you’re an highly over paid manager.

Cons

Management tells us they want quality work over quantity. They then contradict themselves by saying they want 15 microns per shift when we haven't even been able to do 10. There’s never any parts to even produce that many even if we could, then they get mad at us as if the parts they fail to keep in stock is our fault. We have to ask to use the restroom every time and they time us, which I’m almost positive is illegal. Management said they’re going to start watching everything we do on the floor and see how long it takes us. The GM is sitting on the floor watching us as if his presence is gonna intimidate us to do more than we already do. There’s also no talking whatsoever or they threaten you with write ups. Management said anyone who isn't producing effectively is gonna be fired. They tell supervisors to snitch on anyone who isn't being productive so they can fire them. If the supervisors don’t snitch then they are threatened with being fired. You don’t want to work here. It’s almost as bad as a Chinese sweatshop. Management has no idea what they’re doing. The company will fail because of management, not because of technicians.
