Pros

Unique cool job testing rocket engines in the desert

Cons

Remote location. Harsh weather. Unqualified coworkers making the same. Terrible almost non existent HR. Overworked with empty promises. Toxic work environment. Good ol boys club of internal promotions. They talk big on culture and values and make everything flashy but never commit to those values. Fake opportunities for promotions of the hardest workers that want to expand their scope.

Horrible Department

Pros

Benefits are great. Nice area to work. There is some great departments to work for. Just not all of them.

Cons

Hostile work environment. unprofessional, micro managing. No people skills. management couldn't handle the pressures so they would take it out on the techs. HR wont do anything, they are one sided with management. From the time I was there I never seen HR do anything for the employees.

Pros

Very nice people to work with, very relaxed environment, good work-life-balance

Cons

No one at this company understands the difficulty of becoming profitable from space launch. It's almost impossible to become profitable from commercial launch alone and yet, this company doesn't prioritize government customers at all. There is no effective program management. No efforts to reduce recurring cost of launch operations. There's also been no efforts to diversify the products offered even though there's a hugh amount of manufacturing potential with the current factory size and available equipment.
