Pros
- Company cultures promotes comradery and is generally a positive work place with flexible hours, reasonable vacation, great benefits, annual bonuses, and the occasional party - Swimming in money. Never had a purchase order rejected. Could buy anything I wanted at any time, whether it was something for the vehicle or capital expenditure - Engineers are given a lot of leeway and responsibility allowing them to grow their skill sets and careers quickly
Cons
- Stock options are essentially worthless. Rollout was botched and screwed over long time employees. No buybacks available. Dilution is staggering. - Senior management absorbs schedules, disregards any facts that don't fit their narrative, and presents a laughably impossible schedule that inevitably slips. This results in patch fixes all over the place that could have been fixed the right way if schedules were realistic. Also results in comical overspending. - Boeing boys club is rolling into senior management and successfully demonstrating they have no idea how to run a small new-space company. - Rapid management turnover resulting from dealing with the last 2 points. - Data is fragmented over too many systems to keep track of. Instead of making the systems work or consolidating them, they add a new one. - Nothing about the company feels like it's a "Virgin" company. Offices are crap and overcrowded. Waste is through the roof. Trying to compensate by giving out free food.
