Pros

Great work life balance. Inclusive company culture. Plenty of career development, outreach, and diversity resource group opportunities. Low stress. Good pay. Free snacks, drinks, and coffee. Many company sponsored events. Decent 401k. Education benefits include up to $10k a year of reimbursement. Dog friendly and sometimes family friendly. Lots of cool little science projects to get involved with. Mostly good and open-minded people to work with. Pay is competitive in the aerospace industry.

Cons

Many leaders only care about what makes them look good, even at the cost of the mission. Many aren't qualified to be leaders, don't have the technical depth, and leave a lot of the business work to the engineers to do, in addition to the engineering. There isn't really a focused mission beyond "millions of people living in space." All of this contributes to a lack of focus on delivering results and frustrated engineers. Some of this is likely growing pains as the company continues to grow.

Pros

Great technical team, Team Blue is top notch.

Cons

Disorganized leadership, no respect for or compliance with employment & ADA laws, HR runs on fear and personal prejudices & embedded biases. It's a mess you'll be glad you avoided.

Pros

Competitive compensation, good projects, good work life balance

Cons

Growing too fast and getting a bit chaotic now. Hired too many people into higher positions just to fill the hole. A lot folks brings in poor culture from those legacy companies.
