Intuitive Machines reviews

It's a small company right now but that is both a pro and con

Hiding my actual position but I was in engineering. Upper management and the core team was from NASA which is very appealing due to the assumed technical expertise. Although upper management knew lots about the technical aspect of the business they lack having ever built something with flight heritage along with actual management and execution. Constant cutting corners and the “get it done”/“stick the landing” attitude created a toxic environment where engineers were taking risks to appease the managers. The management team did not care. They do not want to create and cultivate an environment where engineers can grow and thrive. Mentorship and training is non existent and, although safety is considered the most important thing, management could care less about it. Checking off milestones is more important than cultivating a healthy and safe working environment. There is no room for growth, teams are heavily silo’ed and do not communicate, and lots of the original team that worked the initial lander design have left the company due to this. Contracts are won dude to connections not by capability. I strongly regret working there as I believe much of my initial career was just time wasted.
