      Pros

      SpaceX gives you the ability to work on some of the best engineering projects in the word, while at the same time allowing you to be autonomous and creative.

      Cons

      The company is becoming a little bit bigger and as such, some stricter processes and procedures are being introduced that stifle come of the earlier creativity. Good roles can still be found or worked into, but bureaucracy is creeping in.

      Pros

      SpaceX is super ambitious and enthusiastic in pursuing its goal of making life multi-planetary by way of reusable rockets and spacecraft. We simply know that we will do it, and it's at the heart of everything we do everyday. We do not take for granted that our coworkers, our friends, were carefully selected to be very good at what we do. This means we get to work with an outstanding team.

      Cons

      The only routine aspect of SpaceX is its chaotic strategic changes in direction. While they generally pan out for the greater good, the process is chaotic and plays its toll on individuals.

      Pros

      Lots of Innovative opportunities. Working at the leading Private Space Company in the world. Many perks to working here.

      Cons

      Overtime seems to be the common theme here. Minimum of 60+ hours a week.
