Pros

Technicians and Leads are great people. Good benefits

Cons

Low pay! No work life balance. 6/12s 5/10s Extreme work conditions hot/cold. Skills matrix make pay raises difficult. Some of the Management has absurd expectations that aren't healthy. Burnout happens quick. High turn over. Questionable management. Not a good fit if you have children or are married.

Pros

Working at SpaceX was a unique experience, and I truly enjoyed the work.

Cons

Management constantly monitors employees through cameras throughout the day. They treat employees poorly and with little respect, often micromanaging them as if they were children. I've observed that management at SpaceX is willing to throw anyone under the bus to advance their own careers. Their main focus seems to be securing promotions and company stock. If someone poses a threat, they will do whatever is necessary to eliminate them. Working at SpaceX is not for the weak.
