Pros

The company is working in a new space within a pretty old industry--providing a fresh outlook on an industry that's needed a little disruption. 1. Cool product--the value proposition makes sense and can revolutionize not only the space industry, but I think it will also inspire others 2. Coffee Lover's Paradise 3. Incredibly smart people 4. One team, One Mission- 5. Transparency is Valued 6. Stock options that might even be worth something

Cons

-Benefits could use some work--but I'm sure this will come in time -Lots of processes are still being developed, making it a little difficult to determine responsibility -Needs more sunlight -Needs more diversity--typical in the engineering space, but it would be nice to be able to differentiate ourselves

Pros

-Lunch stipend -Pay is above industry standards

Cons

-Horrific management that lives and breathes the "996 hustle culture" (work schedule that derives its name from its requirement that workers clock in from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week). Senior Directors expect you to be available and emailing from early morning to late at night. I repeatedly have my supervisor calling me well past 9 PM, always for trivial, non-urgent issues. If you don't respond, expect to have a stern talking to the following morning. -Micromanagement to the extreme. Every email you send, every word you utter is dissected and scrutinized to the nth degree. Zero freedom to utilize the skill set you brought to the company. Senior Directors are in the trenches scrutinizing the work of employees 6 levels beneath them. I've never seen anything like it.
