Pros

No consequences for failures. Insulated from market forces.

Cons

No progress on major projects. Company has a stated purpose (millions of people living and working in space), but in practice no purpose. This dominates the culture from the top to bottom.

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
