      Challenges of all kinds, but worth it

      Middle management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work/Life enrichment is second to none. They truly care about employees and the families. Fast pace environment where you can grow and thrive in so many areas.

      Cons

      Wildly disorganized. Company is just not willing to pay competitive wages, so unfortunately very hard to retain talent.
