Taking on the Hard Instead of the Easy
Pros
* Company as a whole values making the correct decision instead of path of least resistance * Mission is absolutely thrilling and inspiring * Everyone is absolutely stoked about the challenges being faced * Team is composed of extremely talented individuals who value sharing knowledge * Little to no ego observed, everyone clearly on the same team with same mission * Management is very open and easy to talk to * Brings out a strong coffee game. Well caffeinated company :) * Work/Life balance is way better than experienced at a high-profile Los Angeles rocket and spacecraft company!
Cons
* Quickly growing startup! While this is a good thing there are always growing pains. * Sometimes hard to know what other teams are doing * Open floor plan is usually great but sometimes hard to focus. Benefit of making company really inviting and close though. Tough one here.
