Pros

I work at the Tokyo location, and it’s been the experience of a life time. I could make more money elsewhere, but I love the team and the mission is so unique. It’s so special to do what I love (spacecraft engineering) abroad in such a beautiful city. Also, for anyone worried about applying to the Tokyo branch, you don’t need to know any Japanese at all! The entire company speaks and works in English.

Cons

It does require moving to Tokyo, and Japan isn’t for everyone. The language is tricky and day-to-day life can be a challenge if you aren’t prepared.

Pros

Exciting work - a great chance to gain experience in many aspects of a startup, from engineering, to project management, to business/strategy. Global mindset - we get to work with engineers from Luxembourg and Japan (and all over the world), very unusual in the space industry. Clear/inspiring vision and recent improvements in management - recent turnover was definitely for the better, company is trending upwards and deftly handling the transition from startup to scale-up.

Cons

Like others have said - a bit too lean. Many times you have to chart your own course and be OK working in ambiguity - it's not for everyone. As always, there is tension between employees and management, but not even close to the level of dysfunction I've seen at other startups.
