Pros

Very nice people to work with, very relaxed environment, good work-life-balance

Cons

No one at this company understands the difficulty of becoming profitable from space launch. It's almost impossible to become profitable from commercial launch alone and yet, this company doesn't prioritize government customers at all. There is no effective program management. No efforts to reduce recurring cost of launch operations. There's also been no efforts to diversify the products offered even though there's a hugh amount of manufacturing potential with the current factory size and available equipment.
