Pros

- The people are exceptional. The culture is low-ego and collaborative. - The problems are hard, which means you'll learn a great deal. You need to be tough to enjoy it, but you can really make a meaningful - Still a small enough that an individual can make meaningful contributions to big projects or make changes to improve the company. People want the company to improve, and really seem to care. - The engineering culture is solid. Even when there's been anomalies, the team rallies and does not point blame. Way better than SpaceX, I hear. - Probably the closest you can get to working at NASA in the 1960s

Cons

- The company is still in its growth phase and hasn't posted a net profit yet so budgets can be tight. The company has always been scrappy, and honestly that's part of the reason it's been able to survive. - The compensation can be competitive, at least for NZ, if you have equity. Base pay is generally on the low end of industry.
