Pros

The company has set bold goals and are investing in cutting edge technology and excellent people. Company is developing a world class rocket propulsion group. Engineers are given latitude to make decisions and move fast in the design and development phase. Very hands on--you can actually see your design get built, tested and flown within a few years. Transparency inside the organization is great as management communicates successes, failures, and lessons frequently. Young engineers are given more responsibility faster than most companies in the aerospace industry. Excellent gym, flexible work hours.

Cons

Organizational structure is not optimal and leads to confusion over roles/responsibilities. The team is not growing fast enough to meet the program demands.

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
