Pros: - A very exciting scope of work depending on your group - Immediate responsibility for flight hardware depending on the org - Very nice office space and decent benefits on site - An exceptional opportunity to venture into ample spaces of opportunity, if you are willing to sacrifice all you have to get good fast to perform in that objective. Self-taught should be your expectation going in. - Rare opportunities for early engineers to quite literally take on all the responsibility and work they can possibly muster. If you are hungry for fast-paced design and ownership and willing to sacrifice your time in exchange, this is the place for you.

Cons: - You stay until the work is done, and the work is never done. - The divide between experienced engineers and new hires is often met with the expectation that, in opposition to mentorship, the individual is expected to figure it out largely on their own. Sparse resources, a swath of loose context, and a heavy-pressing workload at your back will be your cocktail to get going. Be ready to start the second half of your day when you leave work to mentor yourself.

Pros: Playing a part in making history, and the stock. Learn from the smartest people in the industry.

Cons: You will be working almost nonstop and lose your ability to become a well-rounded person. Engineering management is often delusional and does not care about employee well-being, only results. Management is often unable to mentor newer engineers effectively, leading to new engineers performing poorly.

Pros: Class work environment and lots of fun

Cons: Cali is too hot for me.
