Good People, Poor Leadership

Mechanical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees are generally competent and friendly. The pay is decent for the area with options for hybrid or remote work. Designing for space flight is an interesting challenge.

Cons

Leadership since purchase by private equity in 2023 has been poor and struggling to execute the visions they present in all hands meetings. The C suite seems mostly interested in big goals and forgets that small steps still have to happen to achieve anything. This manifests mostly as chaotic program direction and unrealistic contract timelines.
