Vantaggi

Owner is committed to the mission. He's investing $1B/year, has a long term vision, and has been consistent in his philosophy for how to build the company. The engineering team, especially the Guidance and Control (G&C) team, is world class - best I've worked with in my career. The G&C team consists of a mixture of PhD's, MS,, and Bachelors. Most from top 10 schools - e.g, MIT, Stanford, Texas A&M. Engineers are given substantial responsibility to design and deliver code that flies. Many of the original members are still here - turnover is very low.

Svantaggi

Company is scaling up and it can be difficult to integrate new engineers into the processes of the team. With growth comes more bureaucracy but the company continues to try and create small teams that work independently on projects.

Svantaggi

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.
