Business Outlook

Pros

High level of responsibility right of the gate, everyone is a key contributor Challenging interesting work, never a boring day Awesome coworkers, super bright, both engineering and technicians, everyone eager to help each other and contribute The mission

Cons

Long, unpredictable, irregular hours. All combined hard to plan much activity outside of work. Aggressive schedules without a culture of defining how to meet them except by brute force (hours) High burnout/turnover means working with a lot of new less experienced folks often and in relatively high percentage, leading to reduced efficiency, more weight on experienced people to carry load at same pace while newer people get up to speed, more burnout
