Vantaggi

Unmatched PTO at any US company for all staff. 15 holidays, +2 floating, 18 vacation days, 6 sick days. Excellent compensation, plus moderate 401k match. Many great, intelligent engineers at a peer level, though many were recently let go.

Svantaggi

Leadership has no idea what they are doing or how to achieve anything. They do not listen to bottom up feedback nor do they seem to think more than a few weeks ahead. There is a severe lack of vision, and even when there is a vision there is no one capable to of defining a realistic path to that vision. There is exactly one person above the team lead level that has a plan and can execute on it. This leads to unrealistic timelines, poor technical decisions (because engineers are ignored), and very high attrition. This office will soon be a business office only if things don't change.

Vantaggi

They pay you competitively and have good benefits.

Svantaggi

Leadership has zero clue what they're doing. No one in engineering or engineering leadership has ever built and flown a spacecraft before. When they hire people who do have that experience at the technical lead level(never the manager level, because then they'd have the power to actually change things), leadership doesn't listen to any of the suggestions they have or even remotely attempt to make correct programmatic or engineering decisions. Huge "sunk cost fallacy" rules programmatics here. Technical leads are never given any sort of design authority - everything is decided upon by managers who do not have the requisite technical background to be making those decisions. They regularly do "reorgs" and change people's job titles without talking to them. This is unacceptable and cowardly. Bad decisions never fall on leadership's heads - there is never any accountability. Instead, critical engineering staff are laid off and their roles/responsibilities are distributed to whoever is left, causing further attrition. Never any accountability at the managerial or executive level for making poor decisions that have run their single program into the ground.
