If you want to build a space station, go work for Vast - Engineer Axiom Space Employee Review

Innovative, data-driven, and positive culture. The company is definitely a great place to work for

No cons so far everything is well in this company

Working on the mission was genuinely exciting and meaningful. You get to work on real hardware and actual flight-related systems Good learning opportunity to learn tools and work on fast-paced projects.

Pay was/is well below market, especially for mid-level engineers. A lot of emphasis on equity/RSUs that may or may not be worth anything in the near term. Things often feel disorganized, responsible engineers change extremely frequently, priorities shift, and teams aren’t always aligned. People here tended to be unfriendly and cliquish, there were exceptions but it did dampen the mood of the office. I would have liked to have seen more optimism and less cynicism from the workers, management or otherwise. You're working on spacesuits and a space station, how many companies can say that? Employees did tend on the young side or recent graduate side, I think the company would benefit from having more experienced engineers. Communication can be rough, with last-minute changes that make work harder than it needs to be. Felt like managers would not directly respond to workers of a lower strata. Culture can feel political at times, with certain people dominating conversations instead of focusing on getting things done. Growth and promotions weren’t clear at all, as performance impact to salary was extremely subjective or totally disconnected altogether, and there was/and presumably still is no leveling system.
