Pros

I have been working as a Machinist for over 20 years. I have been in and around a lot of machine shops. This is hands down the best machining environment I have ever been in. Management is great. The Machinists are knowledgeable, easy going and great to work with. Above all, I get to make rockets. Just being a part of this journey is amazing in its self. I couldn't ask for more.

Cons

The only con is that a few unqualified "Machinists" slipped through the cracks in the interview process. Even when they were found to be lacking experience the Management team did everything they thought they could to get them on track. They were given every opportunity to succeed. In the end, some had to go. It is funny that most of the bad comments seem to be from ex-employees. The bad comments from current employees show's that we still have inexperienced personnel that slipped through the interview process and will most likely leave in the near future.

Pros

Free cheese and yogurt. Some people are nice others will make sure you fail

Cons

No equity unless you like monopoly money. No IPO for Blue ever and liquidity events are just bonus event. No work life balance. Toxic leadership who do not care about but will lie to you as long as you serve their own purpose. Everyone is looking, DO NOT come here!!! You will lose years of your life stressed out, frustrated and nothing but an average salary to show for. There are better places out there for space work
