You will work with some of the smartest engineers on the planet!!!
Pros
Seriously, everyone here at spacex is EXTREMELY smart, talented, and driven. Your work ethic and your engineering skills will go through the roof if you come here. There are plenty of company perks that make working here enjoyable like our new company restaurant, coffee booth, frozen yogurt booth, stock options, discounted messages, and coming soon...our very own intra-company bar!!! Yes, that means we will get to drink beer during working hours starting in March!!! Another very cool thing about this place is that you can move around within the company but you have to be highly proactive to make this happen. However, all this and the chance to make history comes at a price...
Cons
...the working hours. 60 hours per week is usually the bare minimum that salaried engineers are expected to work (hourly techs work standard 40 hrs/wk). In time, this may kill your social life outside work or strain your relationships with your significant other. If you're young, energetic and don't mind working late with other young engineers, this may be the company for you. However, if you are older, value your free time or your family, you should know that this is definitely not a family or time friendly company and can lead to divorce. You've been warned.
