Pros

It's so rare to have a job where you go in everyday knowing you're changing the world and can see history being made! We work with some of the most driven, bright, passionate and innovative individuals everyday. Regardless of your level, everyone is given the opportunity to work on a variety of different things, work directly with higher level management on ideas, and grow quickly. Besides the company's mission, my favorite part is the "start up" culture- casual dress, open environment, restaurants with subsidized meals/snacks, onsite dentist and medical clinic, and met some of my best friends here! Not to mention, we look out the window and see one of the boosters we landed standing outside... can't get much better than that!

Cons

Work/life balance - long hours can be draining but always working on new and exciting projects
