      Great place

      Principal integration and test engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Because it's a small company, you have the ability to directly impact direction - RL feels like we are at a point that SpaceX was at 5-10 years ago so there's a huge potential for growth here. - Restricted Stock Units make up for the lower salary, however, if you make it 4 years it's more than worth it and you come out ahead.

      Cons

      - PTO is way below average for the industry - Basic PPO Medical has a $4500 deductible so it's near ineffective unless there's a major health issue. - Interviewing process took 4 months - Don't only build out for what's needed today, think about what you will need the following year to avoid having to redo everything with upgrades. Basically try to avoid knowing rework in the future since that costs time and money.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work on challenging problems, surrounded by smart people who are constructive and great to work with.

      A bit crazy-making in terms of pressure and expectations.
