Pros

-Passionate coworkers, who are huge spaceflight fanatics! -Team leads encourage solutions to design problems that may be out of your scope of work -Pay is competitive -Projects are very interesting and futuristic, pushing current technological boundaries -Work-life balance is seen as a priority -Work is challenging and rewarding

Cons

-Upper management comes from old space companies, such as Aerojet, Boeing, and Honeywell, which can stifle innovation, especially with the amount of technically ambitious projects - Must keep pushing technological boundaries and not use "that's the way we've always done it", avoid unnecessary oversight

Pros

Managers generally have a strong technical background which makes it much easier to communicate with them. Exciting work. The right leaders are being promoted. Individuals have a lot of freedom.

Cons

Company is transitioning from a fulltime research and development company to doing both R&D and production. The old timers didn't fully anticipate what that means and never planned for the company getting larger. But it's getting better overall with all the new talent. Some people need to be more proactive in not burning themselves out.
