Pros

The company is really picking up momentum in the Terran R program. After a "successful" first launch there was some churn in the company with a somewhat uncertain future. New leadership emerged, some ineffective leaders are gone, and the company is turning a corner. The leadership has taken active steps over the first half of this year, from addressing engineering staffing, to ensuring we are all on the same page about establishing a productive work culture. The company is united in one direction and lessons learned from the Terran 1 program are being applied to the new program. I have been at the company for years and I am more confident in the future of the company than ever before.

Cons

It's clear some individuals (and some teams) are underperforming against expectations. This can have a negative effect on motivation to be a high performers. The company could be more proactive in addressing this.
