Any info on space coast job

Wondering if anyone has any useful insight into this position out of the space coast.

What is salary range? It is only posted for CO and CA.

What is work life balance like?

Ability to work remote?

Any other insight would be greatly appreciated!!

I wouldn't listen to these other comments. Do not expect the same salary as Colorado or Washington. These locations pay more. And it depends on the group, but I've had five managers in two years (one of the down sides) and they've been very accommodating with work life balance. The chances of remote work are slim to none, unless they don't have a desk for you. If you are able to get a desk, the expectation is work from work 5 days a week. It will be busy IF you stay on new Glenn, but that could change in 6 months depending on what happens

5 managers in two years? Why? Definitively sounds like a red flag. Any upsides of working there?

I forgot to say no other company or industry would pay me as much as I'm making right now 😂

Ahhh… see… now we are getting somewhere lol.

I have heard they do pay much higher than most other space/defense companies around. Which would be the sole reason for my move.

Don’t forget the free goldfish and diet coke. 🤣

But in all seriousness, never had an issue working here some business units are definitely crazy compared to others.
