Pros

The only pros were that I was part of something that will someday get humans to mars

Cons

Poor management racism, sexism, if at any moment in time, you speak out against any harassment, or sexist and racist comments they will come after you, and not the person who made the racist comment. Low diversity the higher up you are in management. Being white or white passing gets you promoted and not being white prevents you for opportunities. So many times where a white manager made mistakes and was not reprimanded in fact, was promoted. While the people of color who worked hard, we’re never giving credit and credit was given to the white managers.

Pros

Stock Coworkers who are excited to be there. 15 vacation days a year Unpaid sabbatical after 5 years

Cons

High turn over rate. The average (mean) tenure of an employee is 2 years, which means you are constantly trying to get your pers and coworkers up to speed only to watch them leave. The starting pay is ok but they don't match for inflation so over time you'll make less and less, but their excuse is always the same "Well you make a lot in stock." "Stock" is the reason they don't match inflation, why they don't 401k match, and the catch is... you can't sell stock whenever you want since it's a private company.
