Couldn't agree more that executives and Sr Managers don't get it, with a couple of things to add.

Pros

If your in Aerospace, then the dream of space flight is the attraction.

Cons

The culture is inconsitentant and there is an obsorbent amount of predjuce, favoritism, and inexperience, a very difficult place to function, as professionalism is not in play as much as one might expect.

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work with some of the brightest engineers in the field and use some pretty remarkable technology in our effort to get people to space. The environment is completely casual and light-hearted. Benefits are great, especially vacation - fresh college engineering graduates start with 3 weeks that they're encouraged to use. Mojave runs on a 9/80 schedule. Profit sharing happens if company goals are met. Richard Branson swings by a few times per year.

Cons

It is very difficult for someone to get fired here. Someone who has repeatably shown they cannot do their tasks, cannot budget time, are not motivated, and/or safety issues can rest assured that it takes a massive undertaking to get canned. Consequently, we're frequently stuck dealing with people who don't want to or can't help us.
