Pros
Never a dull moment, every project can be directly related to our product, which is launching rockets. It is easy to affect change; even on a technician level ideas and recommendations are taken up the chain and a lot of times end up being utilized. Coworkers are mainly highly motivated, intelligent individuals.
Cons
Pay is competetive but definitely on the lower end of industry standards. Long hours A large amount of managers got promoted because they were good at what they did before, not because they are good managers, which ends up created a less effective management team. The entire team has a lower level of experience than most engineering based companies, which allows for a lot of simple errors and trying to reinvent the wheel in areas which already have tried and true methods. At this point career advancement is very slow since there can only be so many "Leads" and they don't have lower sub- ratings. On the same note, it is a start-up mindset company which allows excellent personnel with lower levels of experience advance faster than other companies which is the primary reason the company has been successful thus far.
