Pros

Hands on, fast paced environment. Learned a lot about the aerospace industry. Surrounded by intelligent, self motivated people. Great work environment, free coffee, good food on site and free froyo!

Cons

Long hours are expected from everyone and it is the norm to work at least 60.

Pros

You get the chance to change the course of humanity, improve life on earth, and be a part of an organization greater than the sum of its parts. The caliber of people that stick with it are battle hardened warriors that can do the impossible.

Cons

There is a constant feeling that you can never do enough or that your best won't be good enough.

Pros

Work with extremely intelligent bunch of people. Allowed to and encouraged to think out the box for solutions to engineering challenges. Rapidly changing environment and if thats something you like, this is the place for you.

Cons

Horrible work life balance. If you have a family then you are in trouble if you consider family comes first.. Lot of brown nosing and old boys club attitude. Not only should you get the job done you should project the image of being busy all the time.
