Pros

Office has views of Lake Union. There are still some very good engineers left to work with and learn from.

Cons

Spaceflight used to be called Andrews Space but it is now effectively a startup with a lot of politics. Upper management can't manage and there is constant infighting and inability to do anything on the engineering side. People fall in and out of favor, problems get escalated and ignored, decisions get made without engineer input. The work environment is frustrating if you care about what you're doing and are trying to do the right thing, otherwise there's very little oversight or organization. There is very high staff turnover as people realize things aren't going to change or go anywhere and find other jobs. Interview candidates disappear into a black hole or wait months to hear back. Sometimes an open position is funded and then a week later it's not, no one knows what's going on. Most of the better staff are actively looking for new jobs and are giving up.
