Pros: The only pros were that I was part of something that will someday get humans to Mars.

Cons: Poor management, racism, and sexism. If at any moment in time you speak out against any harassment or sexist and racist comments, they will come after you and not the person who made the racist comment. Low diversity the higher up you are in management. Being white or white passing gets you promoted, and not being white prevents you from opportunities. So many times where a white manager made mistakes and was not reprimanded; in fact, was promoted. While the people of color who worked hard were never given credit, and credit was given to the white managers.

Pros: You get to make cool space stuff.

Cons: The work hours are long.

Pros: Extreme ownership and accountability mean that you have direct control over the outcome of your product. A collaborative atmosphere allows you to learn from others and get support where needed to be successful.

Cons: Very demanding, which may mean working excess hours. High stakes and time sensitivity may be stressful, as you are in the hot seat.
