      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Managers generally have a strong technical background which makes it much easier to communicate with them. Exciting work. The right leaders are being promoted. Individuals have a lot of freedom.

      Cons

      Company is transitioning from a fulltime research and development company to doing both R&D and production. The old timers didn't fully anticipate what that means and never planned for the company getting larger. But it's getting better overall with all the new talent. Some people need to be more proactive in not burning themselves out.

      Progress is too slow.

      Pros

      Work life balance is good. There are plenty of very talented engineers, and most people are very enjoyable to work with. Don't have to worry about the company folding due to lack of funding.

      Cons

      Too slow. Too risk averse. Too set on building rockets with "high performance architectures", rather than building simple rockets that work, and then developing them incrementally. This approach has led to not much to show after 20 years as a company. Attrition through the roof. Senior leadership appears to not be vested in the success of the company.
