Pros

Saving Humanity in long run. Great health benefits Great team of highly qualified professionals They make sure techs are taken care of In depth training quick promotions due to turn over rate Gwynne Shotwell is amazing! No ahole policy Food options (food trucks, hot meals, grab and go's) meal stipend (partial like spacex meals are $3 and food trucks are $5) Stock options and bonuses team building events best place I have ever worked

Cons

Hours are grueling raises are very small and stingy Hours are more then competitors which makes a high turn over Pay is lower then competitors which also makes a very high turn over In constant training mode because of turn over rate

Pros

Work on spacecraft, help different departments, looks great on resume.

Cons

Leadership forces sketchy work that is eventually going to get someone killed. Force long hours of work sometimes 6 to 7 days a week or fire you. Underpay far lower than any other company in industry. Micromanage every second of work. Change annual review requirements a week before they are due leaving you no time to make any goals set out for you and receive no raise. QA reports directly to production which threatens and follows through with firing QA for not passing failed parts that lead to delayed launches. Extremely high turn around with employees constantly quitting or being let go due to poor work environment and low pay. Don't believe? Ask how many people have worked there over 10 years, better yet ask why 5 years is such a huge milestone.
