Great place to work

Pros

World class peers Great management (in software at least) Good stock sharing Huge opportunity to use many different technologies Looks great on a resume An absolute beehive of activity (if you like that kind of thing) No expense spared on desks/computers/monitors/chairs Amazing food at restaurant Mgt is flexible on hours, and if you need to go to a doctor or something.

Cons

The work/life balance is not as bad as its reputation. Everyone I saw that was really busting the hours was doing it to themself. It is because when your peers/friends are working really hard, you will tend to do the same thing. It is rather crowded these days. And if you don't like an open office cubicle environment, that may be a problem .... there is a ton of stuff going on all the time.

Pros

Many amenities and employee perks. A very fun place to work that makes you feel like you're hanging out with friends having fun, eating, free coffee and frozen yogurt, chef prepared meals every meal of the day (breakfast, lunch, & dinner served in 3 on-site cafes). On-site car washes, attraction discount tickets, commuter benefits, all medical/dental/vision benefits are paid in full by the company for you and you get to select any medical plan you want (HMO, EPO, PPO). SpaceX also covers your life, ad&d, etc. insurance coverage costs. A great, fun place to work.

Cons

Long hours, but the environment is fun and set up to keep you comfortable and liking the work atmosphere. It's comfortable and fun and there are so many amenities that you have everything you need at work.
