Pros

First of all Elon Musk kicks ass and I am honored to work for him! Most people dream of a job like this! Don't get me wrong the job is a lot of hard work and you have a lot more responsibility than you do almost any other company. That is because we build and manufacture 90% of the rocket in house! I would recommend this job to anyone who is driven and wants to achieve the unachievable. Reusability, bringing human spaceflight back to USA, and trips Mars!

Cons

Long hours can get to you at times but the reward is 100% worth it!

Business Outlook

Pros

None. When you first come here, you will think it is a great place to work, only to find out the company has unrelenting schedules and had unreasonable expectations requiring 60 to 80 hours per week and has a burn out rate higher than 50 percent. .

Cons

One of the poorest managed companies in the US They work young employees( aged 25 to 30 ) 60 to 80 hours per week promising them stock options that never pan out. The average employee stays less than two years or is managed out of the company.
