Pros

Eric Schmidt is an engaged and committed CEO. Rockets are cool, and it is a privilege to work on them.

Cons

Regarding the software group, the feel is more like a late-stage corporation than a startup, and unfortunately, the political sharks are eating the hard-working minnows. There is noticeable tribalism between different demographics. Those in power treat workers as disposable, knowing that they can easily replace them with the next wave of people eager to work in the industry.
