Sinking Ship

Pros

Intuitive Machines has done an excellent job creating hype about being a cool company.

Cons

In reality, the company is a sinking ship taking on water at a rapid speed. It may soon run out of money given its repeated mission failures. Numerous concerns make this a terrible workplace: 1. Complete lack of importance on technical competence. Ex NASA folks who are better off in retirement have been hired in bulk. All they do is waste valuable time discussing meaningless topics. 2. Management is focused on being politicians with NASA sponsors instead of doing the right thing. 3. Emphasis is on bravado and big talk rather than running programs that are successful. Two failed lunar landings is the track record out here. 4. Only focus is on building something for cheap even if it has no chance of working once launched.

Start Up With No Equity

Pros

Doing really cool work, wanting to strive to do more and become a major player in the industry.

Cons

A start up operating with no equity. As an employee we have no option to buy into the company stock that we bleed for, “oh we pay well” no you pay market average. We are 500 people and work extremely hard and have NO opportunity to own a piece of the company we work for. No stock purchasing program, no equity grants, nothing. What is the point of working for a company this size out of ALL the others out there if you don’t get equity. Minuscule bonus, enough money to go buy other large companies, but not enough to give employees a piece of the pie. Shareholder greed and ownership hoarding
