Pros

Great and ambitious people, some of the most talented people aiming to achieve some of the most ambitions goals. Timelines are not as slow as NASA, but also arent burnout-heavy like SpaceX

Cons

Top brass are all Yes-Men to Jeff Bezos. No clear communication of reality to Jeff, so most of the chain of command is not aligned with individual contributor reality.
