      Remote Location, Bizarre Employment Situation

      Test engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exciting industry and employer to work for.

      Cons

      Good pay, but when you break it down by hour, it's not so good. This site is in a VERY remote location. Travel time to the site, plus travel time to civilization to do things like get groceries, seek medical attention, etc = a much lower than expected hourly wage.

      Growing pains of every kind

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Incredible opportunity, amazing 401(k) performance. Hired top notch individual contributors who make excellent co-workers. Inspiring mission and successful sales… huge issues are being resolved, and core dysfunctions are being unwound… it takes time and patience, but it’s happening. Diversity and inclusion efforts are the best I’ve witnessed… though may be limited to certain areas / roles.

      Cons

      “Bias for Action” has been misinterpreted as, “Don’t ask around about precedent… Quick! Reinvent the wheel!” Businesses and sites need to communicate and learn from each other. Simplify roles and processes around best practices. Engineers tend to over complicate things to appear smart, but that doesn’t lead to fast-paced commercial manufacturing. (Which has been around for over 100 years… just because it’s aerospace doesn’t mean you need to reinvent everything.)

      DO NOT RECOMMEND

      Security engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      ROCKETS ARE COOL TO WATCH

      Cons

      Company thinks they are cooler than everyone else, they use this as an excuse as to why they pay so low. Some of the most ineffective leadership I've seen in 10 years of CyberSecurity. Proceed with caution
