Pros

Unlimited food and snacks. Awesome launch apparel. Coworkers are nice and very knowledgeable. Not everyone can say they've worked and built rockets to try and meet a common goal

Cons

Schedule sucks. Work life balance is terrible. You will know your days off two days before you get them so you can't plan anything. Things are getting better though. Long hours and very demanding
