Pros

Rockets are cool. They have mountains of test experience and data. The test team is unbelievably competent. Blue Origin has a lot of inertia and they will eventually make things work. Its a great training ground and provides ample room for employee growth.

Cons

Information management is way too confusing. Documentation is lax and rework is constant. Past turnover continues to plague current efforts. Tribal knowledge is endemic in various pockets of engineering. Some people are really smart and others are not. Teams have grown substantially in recent years but the fruit of that growth is anything but apparent. They haemorrhage talent due to poor managerial decisions.
