Pros

Is cool to see and work on rocket hardware

Cons

Do more with less attitude is not sustainable. Don’t drink the “leadership values” coo-laid. Overworked, under valued… Poor leadership. No real direction. Poor culture. Starting with the very top (J.B), it’s all layers upon layers of directors and VP’s to middle management just trying to appease the guy above them and not lose their job. Ambitious goals but no real direction to get there. Stop with the bloated middle management and get rid of the useless VP’s.

what happens on the factory floor does not equate to what is communicated to the top level. middle level management skews results and politics are high.
