      Interesting work but a lot of chaos

      Pros

      Interesting work, rockets are cool. Lots of opportunities to contribute. Everyone is very passionate about space.

      Cons

      The processes, deliverables, and teams are constantly changing. Schedules are still aggressive, were created without engineering input, and must be met no matter what. Everyone is afraid of being the team that doesn't meet schedule. Your boss does not have your back, and your boss' boss does not have their back. In software, pay is significantly lower than other companies in the area, but they're moving towards an Amazon culture (stack ranking and surveillance).
