      Incredible Company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great opportunities to work on multiple projects, friendly environment, and has a younger and more lean feel than a big contractor

      Cons

      Growth is more difficult in a smaller company, though compared to aerospace companies this seems to be typical

      Pros

      Super cool products. What is more fascinating than seeing products that will go into orbit. Your day to day impact on the business is whatever you decide to make of it.

      Cons

      Still a startup. Roles and responsibilities are tough to understand. Lots to do and not enough time.

      Challenges of all kinds, but worth it

      Pros

      -We build stuff that goes to space. Enough said. -Work with a team of incredibly smart people on really challenging technical problems. -The team-first culture is real -- everyone is willing to help each other when the work piles up or a deadline nears. -Management decisions tend to be made based on what's best for the product technically rather than what's best for today's bottom line. -Company path forward over the next few years is trending in the right direction based on Space Systems expansion and Neutron development. Compensation that features restricted stock grants today may eventually be very lucrative.

      Cons

      -Top-level management is still figuring out how to lead an organization with multiple business units spread across the world. Corporate-level departments like HR and IT aren't always staffed appropriately. -Top-level management direction is, at times, ambiguous, due to fast-changing priorities that don't always get communicated. -Pay is fair for the region, but other industries often pay more for similar job titles. While not ideal from a paycheck standpoint, it does lead to working with a team that strongly values the company mission.
