Pros

I could not think of anything negative about this company, except for how popular it is to want to work here! It isn't easy to be a select hiree but the process was smooth and although we hit a lifetime of delays we made it and are getting ready for launch!

Cons

None, I couldn't think of any besides the popularity and competition in the job market!
