Pros

An inspiring place to work. We are making history and changing how people will live and work in space. Engineers are involved in all aspects of design, analysis, build, test, and operations. Most employees are easy to get along with; office politics exist but are less frustrating than at similar companies. Schedules can be flexible for handling family and other life obligations.

Cons

Pay is average at best. Engineer salary is based mostly on seniority and performance, but there are no bonuses. Health insurance is average. PTO is average. Parental leave is average for US employers (which is to say, not very good).

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
