Pros

Inspiring technology that has the ability to revolutionize the space industry. A lot of talented and passionate people.

Cons

For a company that loves to claim to not be SpaceX they somehow have taken all of the bad attributes from them. Majority of teams work 12+ hour days and Saturdays after being lured in with the promise of work life balance. Senior leadership is inept and unwilling to listen to counter ideas despite the company touting that they want disruptive solutions. Nepotism runs rampant with leaders hiring their friends or former coworkers and if you're not willing to blindly follow you get retaliated against. Such a shame considering that this place used to be visionary in both technology as well as the way they treated employees but with the steady influx of toxic former space leaders it's rapidly gone downhill. If you're looking for an organization that values humanity of their employees then stay far far away from this place.

Pros

The prop test team at Stennis is awesome. The people are super cool, and the work is engaging. There's a nice balance of hands on work and technical design work.

Cons

Don't work here if you never want to put in a day longer than 8 hours, but in reality though the job is fun enough that you probably won't mind the extra time.

Pros

Amazing benefits & on-site amenities. Generous PTO, Sick and holiday schedule. Great place to learn and get foot in the door of aerospace. Great hub for young talent industry wide you are given a lot of autonomy of your work day.

Cons

Toxic leadership & senior management. Promotions and raises are not determined by merit, the company allows nepotism which is rampant in every aspect of the company. Would much rather turn a blind eye than address long term issues with a toxic work environment. The minute you stop being a yes man and start challenging the status quo in the name of efficiency, you are targeted by leadership and subsequently pushed out one way or another. You'll be fine if you are personal friends of management.
