Pros

- Everyone is in the trenches together working on incredible, world-changing technology. - Employees are given extreme ownership and autonomy over their work. It’s a culture that inspires you to be daring, think creatively, and see what you’re made of. - Hard work pays off, either in the resulting work moving closer to our goals or financially. - You’re surrounded by some of the smartest, most innovative minds in engineering, and it’s very inspiring and energizing to be around

Cons

- Work/life balance can be difficult to achieve when the work you’re trying to do can have an incredible impact on the world at large. It can take some time to find the balance for yourself. - Base pay can be a bit lower than ad-tech like Google, AWS, Facebook, etc., but benefits are great and stock has amazing potential and is awarded generously. - Workforce is overwhelmingly male, as is par for the course in aerospace and manufacturing.
