Pluspunten

I think the company is heading in the right as it slowly transitions into an organisation that values its employees.

Minpunten

The company is still very young in regards to process. I have worked at 4 companies which are aerospace and this was the worst to work at. it wasn't that the hours were long. It was that employees were expected to put the rocket before everything. So unrealistic timelines were further exaggerated by things going wrong. HR didn't really do anything and the team leads just tried to keep the CEO off their back for another week. Being pre-revenue the salaries were not competitive and the likelihood of a payrise even less likely. Furthermore you couldn't just stop and have a chat without the CEO looking at you like you were the reason they had to raise more money. We were also told that if anything we designed or tested was wrong we would be sacked, such was the pressure the company was under to achieve success.
