Pros

Singular focus on incremental progress towards enabling safe and economical access to space. Minimal bureaucracy, maximal funding for the best ideas. World class scientists, engineers, and astronauts to work with.

Cons

Communication is sometimes lacking, resulting in working in circles. Location in industrial park and isolated test site, far from good neighborhoods / school districts means long commutes for many. (Not anyone's fault... can't build/fly rockets in suburbs)

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
