Pros

If you get hired in to management and fit in to the clique, you're golden. The company is good about bringing interns in, and has scored some good results. It would be a good place to start as an intern, since there's a chance you'll fit in with the clique.

Cons

This company was a dynamic start-up just a couple years ago, but quickly became any other company. For anyone that has worked with NASA, you will know this to be true: it's very top down. The management makes decisions that the engineers are supposed to sign off on. Sidus is exactly like this. There is a small clique of people (and not necessarily engineers) that make technical decisions. Others, qualified or not, are strongly discouraged from contributing. HR has brought in toxic policies from their former company to encourage older employees to leave. The owner of the company is impressive in her drive, but her company is being sapped by those she trusts.

Pros

New company, colleagues are diverse (including age). Everyone, without exception, is competent, and so far, nobody is political. The mission is interesting. I think there are employers in the area that pay more, like Blue Origin and SpaceX, but they prefer only a certain demographic (again, age) and are oppressive to work with, judging from ex-employees. All due respect to them. Here, I feel like we are equally driven, equally forward thinking, but not as visible, and unmanned space has never been sexy, so we're not going to get the attention they do. Fine with me. I'd recommend this company to those who are also driven by moving forward in space without the office politics.

Cons

HR can be a nuisance, but I've never worked anywhere where they aren't. But because this is a small company, it's not a vacuous beurocracy.
