Pros

Very smart and talented engineers. Interesting lunar mission.

Cons

General lack of direction, transparency and accountability from leadership. Expectations are not clearly communicated causing negative work and significant frustrations. Leadership will talk about the problems and encourage employees to bring solutions but they never bring solutions of their own nor do they follow through on any of the proposed solutions. Staffing prioritization is questionable. If leadership doesn't like you or you disagree with them, they'll find a way to push you out regardless of your expertise or contributions to the mission. No career growth for engineers.

Pros

Unmatched PTO at any US company for all staff. 15 holidays, +2 floating, 18 vacation days, 6 sick days. Excellent compensation, plus moderate 401k match. Many great, intelligent engineers at a peer level, though many were recently let go.

Cons

Leadership has no idea what they are doing or how to achieve anything. They do not listen to bottom up feedback nor do they seem to think more than a few weeks ahead. There is a severe lack of vision, and even when there is a vision there is no one capable to of defining a realistic path to that vision. There is exactly one person above the team lead level that has a plan and can execute on it. This leads to unrealistic timelines, poor technical decisions (because engineers are ignored), and very high attrition. This office will soon be a business office only if things don't change.
