Pros

Exciting, challenging, hands-on work. Long term vision and dedication from Bezos. Starting to change stagnant business practices.

Cons

Upper management levels are out of their league, unable to manage company growth and production of rockets. Too many managers from traditional aerospace unable to adjust their practices and instead shield themselves from all decision making. Growth has resulted in large amounts of employees just muddling through while approx 1/3 of core employees do the heavy lifting.

Pros

Free cheese and yogurt. Some people are nice others will make sure you fail

Cons

No equity unless you like monopoly money. No IPO for Blue ever and liquidity events are just bonus event. No work life balance. Toxic leadership who do not care about but will lie to you as long as you serve their own purpose. Everyone is looking, DO NOT come here!!! You will lose years of your life stressed out, frustrated and nothing but an average salary to show for. There are better places out there for space work
