    Employees at Beam Communications appreciate the collaborative environment where colleagues support each other across projects. The friendly workplace culture where people get along well is seen as a positive aspect. Employees also value the opportunity to work on innovative, bleeding edge projects.

    Pressure to work overtime isn't fun
    The good thingsThe people are friendly and get along pretty well.
    The challengesProject time management is poor, so there is pressure to work overtime. Iridium (partner company) has persistent quality issues that aren't fixed, making that company a frustrating partner to work with in engineering.
