Pros

Great compensation and good benefits

Cons

inconsistent policy and procedures, frequent layoffs, or RIF. No work-life balance, not at all employee-centric.

Pros

Designing and testing rocket components was exhilarating. It was fun while lasted but the new ceo Dave limp is of the culture of firing and hiring constantly so you're always potentially on the chopping block.

Cons

No clear vision, weak management, upper management is like a revolving door. I've been in industry for 30 years and I never saw so much churn in upper and middle management. All the churn results in no clear direction with a lemur type attitude. We all focus on this... OK now we all focus on this no wait let's all focus on this... It's amazing that new Glenn actually launched.
