Pros

Interesting work and you get to work with hardware even as a software person. Overall friendly group who believe in their mission.

Cons

Coordination between groups is sometimes lacking. It's largely dependent on getting contracts so job security may become a concern for some people.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
