Pros

Fast moving company doing incredible things. Really talented, motivated engineers for the most part who get s**t done.

Cons

Burnout. Only certain personalities will be able to stay here long term. Nobody is cracking a wip over you necessarily, it's just the culture of the place to work long and hard, and you don't want to let your co-workers down. Company makes quick decisions and pivots, which can be good, but can also lead to lots of churn for individual engineers.

Pros

Getting to help build the largest satellite constellation in history. Pretty good flexibility - as an engineer, you can generally work your own schedule as long as you get the job done. Get to make complex decisions and learn on the fly.

Cons

Not much support with onboarding, can feel like you get tossed in the deep end. Work hours are inconsistent and can change on the drop of a hat depending if issues pop up, which they do.
