Pros

Very talented and motivated engineers

Cons

Lots of non-technical management managing technical direct reports Lack of career growth Monopoly money stock options Bonuses only given to level 4 and above despite majority of work being done by level 1-3 engineers Constant reorgs. Varies from just changing manager to switching to an entirely different program/discipline Vaporware; lots of programs have design changes that keep sending you back to square 1. Makes you feel like what you work on will never get launched. Management taken over by Amazon

Pros

Free cheese and yogurt. Some people are nice others will make sure you fail

Cons

No equity unless you like monopoly money. No IPO for Blue ever and liquidity events are just bonus event. No work life balance. Toxic leadership who do not care about but will lie to you as long as you serve their own purpose. Everyone is looking, DO NOT come here!!! You will lose years of your life stressed out, frustrated and nothing but an average salary to show for. There are better places out there for space work
