Pros
Work-life-balance, friendly staff and smart mid to senior level engineers. It's sad because company has potential. Branson would never approve but he's never there! Support staff and technicians are generally nice and down to earth. It was hard to leave because I really hoped for change.
Cons
-Jedi top engineering leadership (self-proclaimed in name only) = "my way or out!" - "Island of misfit toys" culture for SpaceX'ers. They really just need a hug, really. -SpaceX culture is insulated at the top and is self-serving and self-governing. - CEO is consistently absent making VG a rocket club - some engineers work hard while others take the Club Med approach. - some "Jedi" have 50+ reports in a company of just 195. Really?! - you never know who your friends are, sadly. Really. -All this could be cured if CEO or President took a hard look. But neither was very technical. -stock is non starter unless you never read the policy. It's misleading as I got 6,000 shares and then found they could never vest absent of going public.
