Pros

Building rockets and advancing the space industry.

Cons

Management is weak and clueless. A bit like the blind leading the blind. Several great employees, but even more terrible ones. Maybe next time layoff the terrible ones. It shouldn't be that tough to figure out. With each layoff we see mostly excellent workers being let go. To everyone's surprise. Now the losers left behind need to hire new people so that the new people can do the losers work for them. The cycle keeps repeating.

Pros

Opportunities to learn and get exposure to many processes and activities. Dynamic and challenging. Well compensated.

Cons

The finance team is in a strange position where you are either an analyst or a senior director, with no middle management. As a result, the paths for internal promotion are essentially broken. They mistreated their managers—some of whom had been with the company for four to five years—by downgrading most to analyst roles, while two unfortunate individuals were laid off. Make sure to interview your hiring manager. Those with tenure at the company are generally fine, but the newer ones (1–2 years in) tend to foster a bro culture.
