Pros
Very dynamic work, strong sense of adding value and impact, low bureaucracy and opportunity to enact projects, great people to work with, on-site access to most of your daily needs - food, car cleaning, dentist, doctor. Good vacation and health care
Day to day work is fast paced and dynamic as a material planner. We are still young as a supply chain planning organization so there are lots of opportunities to created processes and policies. Planners have a large portfolio of parts they are accountable. Planning can be best compared to work that an NPI Material Planner does at more mature planning organizations as we are an R&D/Innovation focused company. Expect lots of opportunities to work cross functionally with operations, engineering, purchasing, and inventory.
Planners should want to make an impact day to day knowing that we are trying to make humanity a multi-planetary species. You will have an opportunity to put your fingerprint on that mission to change the world but that takes a lot of work. Successful planners will not only accept changes and shifts in priorities will happen often but learn to predict and anticipate where these shifts occur.
Cons
Plan to work long work weeks (but the hours go fast), base salary could be more competitive (equity is given and is often mentioned as making total comp comparable, but that is not as liquid as salary)
