I interviewed with them a bit over a decade ago for an engineering position after I got my master’s degree. The interviewer straight up asked me if I was okay working something like 60 hour weeks. I said nope right then.

> recruiter called and offered crazy low base salary > she said but we send people into space here This feeling is everywhere now. "But we send people on the roads here". "But we send people on the bottom of the ocean here". We are Agile and only see the quality manager when we jave an escalation meeting with the customer.
sorry, but space must pay more, because the system must be 100% bugfree, and cannot be updated easily. on the bottom of the sea or on roads you still get live-updates, or at least car callbacks. you also have severe space and time restrictions, more than in a car or surgical robot. no agile for sure. there's not much room for agility or changing requirements in space.

Plus you can expand the thiefdom management cake.. And that is real growth..

For something as specialized as aerospace engineering software? Definitely yes.

> she said but we send people into space here All big companies do(did?) this - putting low salary and saying but "this is Facebook!" (real story), preying on young gullible people who think Facebook, Google or any big fish is anything worthy to be a part of.
Space is different in being an emerging sector where many of the potential business models are not yet viable, and which holds the promise of unlocking massive amounts of resources for humanity. The FAANG companies are also different in that they already generate massive revenues, so can't credibly claim they can't afford to pay good salaries.
I’ve heard from plenty of experienced people how some of these companies, especially googlee - milk you for all you’ve got while pretending to be caring and offering you competitive base pay.

At least he came out with it. Although if he said 60 he probably meant even more. In the UK or Europe it would probably have been illegal to mention this. I wish someone would have just come out and said this at a startup I worked at.

Under EU law it is illegal to work more than 48 hours a week.... unless you opt-out. So everyone just opts-out.
