Pros

There is no greater mission, no more important task for humanity than to create internal redundancy in our species. There is also no greater engineering challenge a human will face than working on these systems and methods.

Cons

Working for SpaceX is a service to all of humanity, you should see it as such. The trip to Mars and beyond is not easy, and requires you and your family sacrifice much of your "spare" time for this goal. You will likely burn out, but expect this. And returning after a 1-2 hiatus at a "boring" job is actually pretty normal.
