Pros

Pay is good, benefits are ok. We very seldom get to see a rocket launch.

Cons

If you come here with experience, you will gain little and only a few will listen to your input. Management is a joke, they have no decision making skills and are completely inexperienced. 25 -30 year olds straight out of college have no reason being managers, they are made managers solely based off of a college degree and who they are buddies with. This isn't in just one department, it is many across B.O. The reason we don't launch rockets like SpaceX, managers are to indecisive! Management doesn't even follow their own leadership principles that they set in place...the have the "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality.

Pros

4 weeks of PTO, good benefits, free drinks and snacks available at all locations.

Cons

Leadership is inconsistent and often incompetent, company is very segmentalized and each group operates to different goals and schedules, poor communication with other parts of the company and with leadership. There is an overarching Yes-men mentality amongst leadership, and they often are just aiming to not be the group to be to blame for delays or failures. Personal growth is limited and widely ranges between different groups, there are areas where people see regular raises and promotions, while the majority seems to be told there are freezes or that they will be put in for next cycle. Pay has fallen behind, in the past they used to pay well and above the industry standard, but have not kept pace. Hours can be very long, again dependent on your group, some people may enjoy things like work from home or flexible schedules, but the majority are asked to work long hours and even support roles that could be remote are forced to be on site, despite a lack of space for the number of employees. I moved desks locations and buildings 6 times in 3 years. Re-orgs happen every 6 months, and create significant instability within the company, but rarely bring positive improvements. Good talent is not rewarded, and leaving quickly.
