      Pros

      You get to work on something meaningful for our generation.

      Cons

      Safety is preached but you are expected to violate every safety policy in order to get the job done because most work can’t be performed safely. Your schedule ends at different times everyday and your days off change on short notice. You are expected to work through lunch and breaks when there is a deadline to meet. Equipment and machinery is not PMCS.

      Pros

      saying you work at spacex will impress people. the potential upside of stock optoins is significant. Definitely some talented and professional people that are frustrated but waiting out their stock vesting

      Cons

      inexperienced and arrogant management (not everyone but many). Seem to believe that any success one has working there is due to the company, not the individual; one is basically a body or number. stuck in selling everything the same way and no real interest in serving customer or developing relationships..it's about increasing the value of company for investors and shareholders (good for employees)...push everything off to the future and hope for the best

      Pros

      Lots of training, steady work, great mission, new equipment as expected.

      Cons

      Management from the supervisor level up is completely clueless and is quick to avoid an issue and point blame elsewhere to save themselves. Feels like being back in high school with tons of gossip, team moral is all ways low as new deadlines or changing priorities happen often. HR is not there to be nurtural they are only there to protect the company and will write you up for almost nothing. Hours can be long and weekends are added without little to no notice.
