Business Outlook
Pros
- Work among a group of extremely intelligent and passionate people, be continuously humbled by your peers - The sense of camaraderie when watching critical missions live instills a sense of teamwork and satisfaction that is difficult to match anywhere else - Company is still attacking large problems with a fairly lean engineering team; engineers have much responsibility and ownership as a result
Cons
- Large parts of the company have lost their startup feel due to the nature of some of SpaceX's projects (flying crew, Air Force missions/requirements) which has allowed plenty of red tape and annoying (although necessary) paperwork to creep into engineering work - After a while, the hours get to you
