Vantaggi

- Good pay. The incentives are great for the location - Opportunity to be a part of the space industry doing cool stuff. - Excellent place for college graduates with little to no industry experience. - Opportunity to learn independently with minimal guidance.

Svantaggi

- Location could take its toll after a while and is a poor choice for professionals with families except if you are homeschooling your kids. - Not many mature employees; the majority are straight out of college: resulting in a severe gap in communication and mutual understanding. So if you are used to working with employees with significant time on the job and industry experience, you probably won't get it here. However, you can thrive daily. - Work-life balance is almost non-existent, owing in part to the work schedule. Be prepared to only work, sleep and repeat. The off schedules give an illusion of ample time off. But by the time you can complete your personal business on your days off, it's already Sunday. - Not much opportunity for career growth and development. - Poor inclusive culture and workforce diversity. -High attrition rate. - Poor, often inexperienced management.

Vantaggi

4 weeks of PTO, good benefits, free drinks and snacks available at all locations.

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.
