Great opportunity but beware

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn and grow. Amazing people to work with. Great perks.

Cons

There is a clear disconnect between upper management and expectations in terms of goals and meeting deadlines. There also seems to be some favoritism at play. It can become a hindrance and stressful to meet those goals and deadlines at the last minute. The quality of work is not what you’d expect from a space company. Feels like too many corners are being cut on many levels. Enforcing mandatory overtime earlier this year was not a great move. Working conditions at the production floor need to improve to ensure workplace safety and hardware doesn’t suffer setbacks or delays.

Toxic environment

Pros

Decent pay Free health insurance

Cons

Expects ridiculous amount of overtime from employees but was over 6 months late with bonuses. Virtually no communication with employees, leadership is secretive and cut throat. They do not respect anyone unless they are a chief engineer or above, opinions are not heard or respected. They have an ineffective promotion systems and favortism is apparent.

Pros

They are dedicated to getting the true reviews removed, and pressure employees to leave 5 star reviews

Cons

Condescending political leadership from top to bottom with no room for dissent. Do not work here. Read "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and assume the worst-case scenario for all interactions with leadership.
