      Engaged CEO but political issues in software groups

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Eric Schmidt is an engaged and committed CEO. Rockets are cool and it's a privilege to work on them.

      Cons

      Regarding the software group, the feel is more like a late-stage corporation than a startup; unfortunately, the political sharks are eating the hard-working minnows. There is noticeable tribalism between different demographics. Those in power treat workers as disposable, knowing they can easily replace them with the next wave of people eager to work in the industry

      Pros

      interesting and fulfilling work, nice people, strong sense of ownership, excellent learning/growth environment, daily $10 lunch credit, good snacks

      Cons

      strong ownership = lots of responsibility, aggressive timelines, very minimal 401K matching

      Good people, unclear mission

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay. Great people, many from SpaceX, Virgin Orbit, Blue Origin and other aerospace companies. Work-life balance is a declared goal. Friendly to older professionals. It's great to work at a rocket factory, even though it could be loud sometimes. New technologies are eagerly adopted.

      Cons

      At all hands, the top management looked like they were uncomfortable talking to us and would rather be elsewhere. It's like they have bad news but cannot tell us. Competing in the heavy launch market is challenging. Without 3D-printing the rocket, it's not clear if the company has any advantage over its competitors. Almost everything is done from scratch, the Terran-1 designs are long forgotten. The turnaround is high, and it's the best people who are leaving.
