Pros

History of cool space flights with the older vehicles designed by Scaled Composites.

Cons

Recent layoffs in July 2025 laid off experienced engineers who had worked at the company for years in favor of keeping less experienced, lower paid engineers who are less likely to speak out against safety violations when the company orders the safety workflow/ processes to be bypassed in order to rush a product to be ready sooner. This company is misleading the public about how far along it is on its programs. The company leadership is out of touch with the reality of the programs they have dictated. Virgin Galactic is dishonest.

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.
