Pros
Mission driven, the positive impact on the world via Starlink is clearly evident, and low cost launch has revolutionized the aerospace industry. It’s been extremely satisfying to have played a significant role in our progress to date and there’s so much more yet to do. It might seem cliché, though with our high standards for hiring, truly one of the best aspects of working here are the coworkers you get to work with. Nearly everyone I’ve worked with over many years has been driven, passionate, smart, trustworthy, and generally fun people to be around. You can do great work and always be learning.
Cons
You do end up working a lot, but often this is partly due to genuine interest/passion rather than being strictly required. So it’s important to make sure you enforce your boundaries and unplug when you can. We do tend to attract people that like working a lot, but you’ll need to find your own balance and strategies. It’s not a 40 hr/week type job (for salary), but it doesn’t need to be 80+ hours either.
