Pros

A place to learn more about LOX rocket engine technology then anyone off the street. A good place to learn new skills on the job. The company feeds their employees every day and pays 850 a month for living expenses. Severance package is good

Cons

Raises are low and reviewing process is based on what other co workers think of you which means if their is some co worker whom you do not work well with the management will listen to what they have to say and will not here your side of the story. If your ever placed on a PIP (Personal Improvement Plan) you should start seeking new employment because this is their way of generating a paper trail to fire you. Hr works against you when you have valid points and management does not support their employees or hears their concerns. The location is very remote and their is no real convince or amenities for 100 miles.

Pros

Cool products, individual contributors are very passionate, chance to be a part of teh second space race.

Cons

They fire from bottom up when the poor leadership makes terrible strategic decisions. You are responsible for the stupid ideas of your executives. I've seen fleets of intelligent individuals laid off because an executive has a dumb idea that wastes millions of dollars. They usually get promoted and the people that had nothing to do with the decisions are left holding the bag. If you are a woman, I would look elsewhere. I can't count the number of women in leadership I have seen specifically targeted for termination. It has gone past coincidence into a pattern.
