Pros
- Fast paced and efficient without the backbreaking work that other new space companies often impose on employees - Leadership generally does care and will address employee concerns and communicate clearly (within reason) - Company does actually care about diversity and equity and puts in the effort to try & make everyone feel welcome
Cons
- Long beach buildings are not the nicest physical places to work. Wormhole building is very spread out and very loud, and Portal building has no air conditioning. - Sometimes it feels like I'm the odd man out for being interested in my job outside of work instead of having more diverse hobbies - Middle of the pack compensation for a tech company -- high base pay but nothing else (no stock, 401k, or bonus) - Inconsistent promotions -- under my old manager it felt very unfair, but under my new manager it is much better thankfully. - Very frequent management shakeups, *especially* in the 2022-2023 timeframe. Barely a month went by without some kind of re-org.
