Pros

Amazingly talented team. Good leadership led by a true engineer CEO. Base salaries are not the highest in this space, but equity packages and associated liquidity make up for it. Decent benefits overall. Free meals are delicious and healthy.

Cons

Some growing pains evident as they transform from a small startup building prototypes to a large aerospace company building certified products at scale. Some dysfunction in the organization; some teams are not well-managed and/or understaffed. Occasional tension between cadres from different backgrounds, e.g. silicon valley, electric vehicles, and legacy aerospace. Leadership priorities sometimes shift unexpectedly, leading to churn and overly-aggressive schedules. Work-life balance can be a challenge at times.

Pros

Fairly relaxed compared to a real startup. Breakfast lunch and dinner. Most people are great, typically very collaborative

Cons

High level company goals often clash with producing a manufacturable product. The reasoning is sound, but can make it difficult to find motivation. The company is also taking on projects that need more structure than the startup environment can often provide. Poor compensation.
