Pros

Owner is committed to the mission. He's investing $1B/year, has a long term vision, and has been consistent in his philosophy for how to build the company. The engineering team, especially the Guidance and Control (G&C) team, is world class - best I've worked with in my career. The G&C team consists of a mixture of PhD's, MS,, and Bachelors. Most from top 10 schools - e.g, MIT, Stanford, Texas A&M. Engineers are given substantial responsibility to design and deliver code that flies. Many of the original members are still here - turnover is very low.

Cons

Company is scaling up and it can be difficult to integrate new engineers into the processes of the team. With growth comes more bureaucracy but the company continues to try and create small teams that work independently on projects.

Pros

To work at Blue, you have to have an internal motivation, or drive that very little possesses in order to succeed here. You have got to be damn good to do well here. Its not for the faint of heart. If you are not exceeding expectations and trail blazing, then you should be looking elsewhere.

Cons

Complicated work. What do you expect with Rocket Science?
