Pros

Best reasons to work here are obvious, every moment your life is ink in the pages of Space exploration history!, the monumental weigh of all is awe inspiring, a fruition of a lifetime of Aerospace work and study, The work environment and teams are committed, they do lack the structure I'm accustomed to from my service in the Air Force and the US Army, but the cohesion is real, it is a culture I'm proud to have joined this company and enjoy its many benefits! , the enthusiasm is palpable. it really is like stepping out of the world and into WILLIE WONKA'S factory, only" we build rockets and capsules, and will soon invade MARS.

Cons

Not a real con, but an awareness, that attention to detail and a commitment to the pursuit of perfection is a must!, as individuals you are allowed to not be perfect!, but your work has to come as close to it as you can, successful missions and the safety of HUMAN crew and cargo will be essential moving forwards, This will add an unprecedented level of stress, I AM confident though, this company has what it takes!

Pros

The biggest pro for me - there is nothing like watching a launch that you were a part of. It doesn't get old. It's just as exciting every time. For each launch, you've poured you energy into improving your existing systems and installing new ones to make every mission easier than the last. The work environment at SpaceX is unlike anywhere else I've worked. You're surrounded by people who are passionate about their jobs and doing what it takes to get to launch. I had gained more responsibility for systems in the first 3 months of my employment here than I had in a year and a half elsewhere. That being said, whenever I need a hand on a project or someone to bounce ideas off of, it is amazing how willing people are to help. From day one, you're working on systems that directly impact launch. You gain independence incredibly quickly, but know that support is available whenever you need a hand on a project or someone to bounce ideas off of. Like any job, there are pros and cons, but I love my job.

Cons

Funding is tight and schedules are aggressive. It can be demoralizing for some projects.
