Pros

Great people, smart dedicated employees, benefits, exciting project.

Cons

I am not an engineer, but a professional in a discipline required to make a complicated company operate correctly. Working at VG destroyed my career progression as the failure to ever operate the company prevented me from doing what I was there to achieve. I came to this company for the excitement of the project and be a part of history, but after more than two years of continued lying by the leaders as to the real timeline and/or the incompetence of managers on the production side to actually manage production, it was time to move on. The leaders in the company 'chase' shiny 'objects' they think are cool, will give them individual attention or get them a raise, distracting the super smart talent from actually accomplishing any success. While the company may stumble into some type of 'success' there are better run companies and better space projects to be a part of that will let you be a part of history. Don't fall for the theatre that makes Virgin companies appear better than they truly are.

Pros

People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

Cons

Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.
