Pros

You'll be working on some of the most exciting and impactful projects in the world. You will also immediately be asked to take ownership over some feature or area.

Cons

You'll need to be there for at least 50 hours per week, but you'll realistically need to invest 90% of your energy into SpaceX to be effective. I think this is completely ok for many people! Its a great place to work if you're single and don't have kids.

Pros

Lots of skilled and highly motivated people working together on some incredible engineering projects. Compensation is generally above most of the industry.

Cons

The people who get promoted to managers are those who excel as individual contributors, and they generally don't have the best people management skills. Work hours can be long, depending on the position. There generally isn't a training process for new hires, you just have to jump in and figure it out. Getting up to speed can take longer than it should because of this.
