Pros

Exciting opportunities to work on cutting edge rocket technology. Fast paced environment and incredibly smart people abound. You'll learn a lot, but will work extremely hard. But, it is one of the most exciting opportunities you can get in aerospace today.

Cons

There's little opportunity for advancement, so be sure to negotiate up front. There are significant politics at the company and this stymies progress and diminishes morale of most staff. And, the vacation policy was horrible.

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
