      Great place to work at

      Pros

      Work life balance is the best I have ever worked at. Benefits are great. Schedule is consistent unlike other places I have worked in the past. Where the schedule is fluid and somewhat spontaneous, to the point of your about to clock out for the weekend. Another thing I like about Space X is for NDE they have a lot of resources for furthering your education and they encourage you to do so. In my experience that is not very common and is extraordinary. And it is probably the most interesting place I have ever worked at. It is not like a typical construction job, assembly line or pipeline. Everyday is not the same.

      Cons

      I have been here for about 90 days and can honestly say I have found no cons.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Very exciting scope of work depending on your group -Immediate responsiblity for flight hardware depending on the org -Very nice officespace and decent benefits on site -Exceptional oppurtunity to venture into ample spaces of oppurtunity IF you are willing to sacrifice all you have to get good FAST to perform in that objective. Self-taught should be your expectation going in. -Rare oppurtunities for early engineers to quite literally take on all the responsibility and work they can possibly muster. If you are hungry for fast-paced design and ownership and willing to sacrifice your time in exchange, this is the place for you.

      Cons

      -You stay until the work is done, and the work is never done. -The divide between experienced engineers and new hires is often met with expectation that in opposition of mentorship, the individual is expected to figure it out largely on their own. Sparce resources, a swath of loose context and heavy-pressing workload at your back will be your cocktail to get going. Be ready to start the second half of your day when you leave work to mentor yourself.
