Pros

You'll get experience working with many different parts depending where you work.

Cons

Very high paced. Micro management. Leadership isn't professional. Training is horrible and brief. If you make a simple mistake everyone knows about it and think you're a horrible technician and talk behind your back. Management count how many mistakes you've done and use it against you in the annual employee reviews so they won't give you a raise.

Pros

Working as an engineer at SpaceX will expose you to some of the brightest engineers in the business that genuinely care about their work. You'll also get to help solve some challenging problems on incredibly cool tech.

Cons

Work/life balance at SpaceX is non-existent in many roles. In order to thrive and really stand out at SpaceX, you will need to sell your soul to your job.
