Pros

Small, innovative company that is taking on very large challenges. New ideas are encouraged and differing opinions are heard. Every day is a new and exciting challenge, and you won't find a better group of people to work with. Benefits are generous employees are encouraged to take advantage of them. You are rarely micromanaged and have the freedom to work around other commitments. Very flat management structure

Cons

High expectations and a drive to meet schedule can be stressful. When a deadline is approching, you are expected to put in the extra effort/hours to get the job done. You are expected to know your stuff, and contribute meaningfully every day. With minimal management comes greater individual responsibility.

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
