Pros

The mission gets me out of bed every morning - I actually care about what we're doing here. The place is packed with cool science and engineering from all different disciplines. No two days are the same. I'm constantly solving hard problems - I enjoy the challenge and appreciate the growth. Most people are really great to work with.

Cons

We've been waiting for a new reg approval for a long time, which can be frustrating and fatiguing. Sometimes there is so much going on I have to prioritize ruthlessly and put in extra hours (but like I said in the pros, I ultimately don't mind - the mission and work are worth the effort).

Pros

Doing impactful work with great people. The work itself is very complex and interesting.

Cons

There is always a lot going on and it can be a challenging environment due to the nature of a bleeding edge complex technology company.
