Pros

I’ve worked across the industry and in tech for 15 years. This place has an influx of money, smart engineers, and the worst management / lack of prioritization I’ve ever seen. The RTO backlash in 2021 proved how little this place respects even senior employees and how the exec team imparts rules without intent to ever lead by example (lives full time in Arizona, demands employees work in Kent daily with no exceptions- multiple examples including the leader of the entire RTO team).

Cons

Not a single woman in a technical executive role. Culture. I’ve worked in several competitors, start ups, giant Boeing and all were immeasurably better culture wise.

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
