Trust in leadership is completely gone

Pros

Rocket engines are exciting, solid engineering and manufacturing staff. Internal folks get a lot of opportunity for growth. IT staff is the best of any company I have worked at. Pleased with the selection of CAD and analysis tools available. As far as design work goes it is relatively straight forward. Engineering groups have some of the best team collaboration I have experienced at an aerospace company.

Cons

Leadership is full of people who should not be running a business. Most are inexperienced former SpaceX engineers with little actual business experience and it shows. One bad decision after another has led to having to downsize the company and in many recent all hands it has become clear they are just throwing things at the wall to try to make money. Relationships with customers have been completely frayed and we have basically abandoned our only viable product (Hadley) making me wonder why we even exist at this point. Culture is completely gone and people are leaving at an alarming rate.

Pros

Fun tech - rocket engines are cool.

Cons

No customers. VERY inexperienced leadership team, making up fancy titles for other equally inexperienced leaders. Ignorant, but arrogant & think they know way more than they know. Spend money like water until they lay off 30% of the company with terrible severance (but tout a great culture - yeah). Currently trying a 'hail mary' pivot to a whole new tech that they have no idea how to be successful in. Expect it to get way worse, and probably never get better.

Pros

Cool technology, great location with nice mountain views, and lots of opportunity to challenge yourself. Hard working team members with some good leaders.

Cons

At times it feels like you’re being judged at an awkward frat party, with a clear inner circle and then everybody else. The diversity and inclusion that’s highly touted on social media depends on the team - some are great - others, not so much. Lack of open-mindedness to different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Want work/life balance and boundaries? Yeah, don’t expect a promotion. Overall, being one big family is preached yet not practiced, as seen with these layoffs.
