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.

Pros

1. Being a part of a pioneering team, seeing the tangible results of the work we do in being one of the leaders in space missions. 2. Upper management makes real efforts to address issues and suggestions from employees. 3. Building a culture of attention to the employees. 4. Very inclusive environment.

Cons

1. Could use a lot of help with appropriate system support of the processes 2. Building the plane while it's being flown organized chaos - not for people who want regular monotony, set standards, and clear plug-and-play work description
