Pros

friendly people, really engaging work, lots of passion behind the projects, large amount of project ownership, opportunity for growth, hands-on work, excellent for building industry experience in all fields.

Cons

Large amount of office politics, shady upper management and overworked lower management, shifts are generally 130-150% more time than stated, generally takes advantage of entry level positions (like most startup-ish engineering companies)

Pros

Interesting subject matter. Lots of great and hardworking people.

Cons

Communication from management is abysmal. Management rarely backfills positions when good people leave due to uncompetitive pay. Manufacturing site is an hour outside of Austin. Engineers regularly work 50+ hours per week, and some weekends, but receive no incentives (bonuses, overtime pay, etc.)

Pros

You sometimes get a free t-shirt

Cons

The management is clueless and poorly communicates to employees within their departments or outside their departments. The current CTO knows very little about engineering and does not get his employees to work together to design properly fitting and functioning rocket parts. The woman dictating the lunar lander program has no idea how to manage anything. She does her own thing with total disregard to everyone else. HR does not care about employees. When you try to schedule a meeting or call to discuss concerns, they never respond because they don't care. HR let's some people get away with bad things. Employees get frustrated and quit all the time and that is in part, why they are always hiring. They can't pay any bills because they don't have enough money. They don't meet committed launch dates because their rockets always fail on the launch pad or they can't build them properly because of poor quality.
