      Always in "URGENCY" mode

      Pros

      Interesting, inovative, exciting, ground breaking place to work. The company has good health benefits and had a good employee stock option plan (don't know what it is now, probably stock grants)

      Cons

      The company has changed from a small dynamic place to work into a larger "very political" place to work. At the Cape, VP, Director, and Managers have all quit recently (2014) and given way to the younger less technically capable and inexperienced. No work/life balance, you are expected to be "ON" and in "URGENCY" mode ALL the time.

      Busy, rewarding, high expectations, with a limited ceiling.

      Pros

      Good benefits overall (no retirement). Pay varies greatly for the same positions, but is good when the overtime is factored in. It can be challenging work that has high expected performance levels. Very satisfying when you see the results of your work.

      Cons

      Very poor work/life balance. There is little to no understanding of people enjoying anything but space/rocketry. No retirement, the stock options offered are a joke at this point. No real training. Very engineer orientated, if you didn't go to college to be an engineer, you are basically a second class citizen (no matter your experience/education level).
