Pros

A place to learn more about LOX rocket engine technology then anyone off the street. A good place to learn new skills on the job. The company feeds their employees every day and pays 850 a month for living expenses. Severance package is good

Cons

Raises are low and reviewing process is based on what other co workers think of you which means if their is some co worker whom you do not work well with the management will listen to what they have to say and will not here your side of the story. If your ever placed on a PIP (Personal Improvement Plan) you should start seeking new employment because this is their way of generating a paper trail to fire you. Hr works against you when you have valid points and management does not support their employees or hears their concerns. The location is very remote and their is no real convince or amenities for 100 miles.

Pros

Exciting opportunities to work on cutting edge rocket technology. Fast paced environment and incredibly smart people abound. You'll learn a lot, but will work extremely hard. But, it is one of the most exciting opportunities you can get in aerospace today.

Cons

There's little opportunity for advancement, so be sure to negotiate up front. There are significant politics at the company and this stymies progress and diminishes morale of most staff. And, the vacation policy was horrible.
