Micromanaging Culture - Anonymous employee SpaceWorks Enterprises Employee Review

Great team of engineers who strive for innovation in the aerospace sector.

Internship was only 3 weeks, more time would have led to more growth and knowledge

Opportunities to learn a lot quickly on the job. The people are wonderful, and the culture is welcoming. Variety of aerospace projects both in Technical Readiness Levels (TRLs) and industry subsets, like: orbital applications, modeling and simulation, white paper collaboration studies, atmospheric re-entry applications, and more. There was an awesome flex-time policy when I worked there. So if you work over you can use the overage hours within the same month as time off. Mandatory in-office core hours were 10am-3:30pm. So you could arrive at 10am or leave as early as 3:30pm no questions asked.

Not a lot of real mentorship available combined with a lot of responsibility granted quickly can be challenging to a newer engineer. Leads to a lot of burnout and rapid turnover. PTO ramps up with seniority and is accrued over time. At entry-level you’ll start out at about 9.33 hours per month plus 10 federal holidays. With a pretty quick route to a heavy work load and pretty limited PTO compared to other tech companies, it can be a struggle. When I worked there, there were no regular work from home days. Everyday is an in-office day by default with remote work only be granted on an as needed basis by your team lead.
