      Pros

      - Upbeat and humble company to work for. - They truly hold the standard of "best idea wins" in the field of employees. - It doesn't matter if your the janitor or the CEO if your idea is the best idea for the job it is applied and used.

      Cons

      - Heavy work load and long hours make for very little time for a personal life. - Management is too involved in technicians personal affairs.

      It's the dream job I didn't know existed

      Technical trainer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I feel like my ideas and work are valued. My manager empowers me to achieve my goals. The teams that I work with are very supportive and literally do the things you wouldn't think were possible. I truly believe that I work with the best of the best, and some of the most humble people out there. We have one of the smartest and inspiring CEO's in the world, who has a clear vision that I can easily get on board with.

      Cons

      We have the same drawbacks of a quickly growing company that came from a very small, and elite group of individuals. We are treading on new ground, a lot of the things we're doing have never been done before so you really have to stretch outside of your role and be able to do what other companies would have 3 people doing. The pace of the work is very fast, so you have to put effort to take a step back and see your project from a higher perspective to make the most effective decisions.

      Meaningful work and great colleagues

      Pros

      Really sharp and motivated people in all different groups, both engineering and non-engineering. It really makes a difference. It's great to have such a connection from my day-to-day work to the launches and landing that the company really celebrates.

      Cons

      Growing pains for a rapidly expanding company. Things and systems keep changing, but hey at least I'm never bored!
