Great place to work, but long hours

Test engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with. Fun projects and exciting challenges. Good work atmosphere. I see multiple rocket tests on a daily basis, I see rockets and space capsules up close that have flown to space and safely returned and best of all, I get to work with and be apart of the team that makes it all happen. I can't think of a more inspiring company mission.

Cons

Long work hours that limits having a life outside of work. Limited opportunities for regular advancement. Career progression is an afterthought at best.
