      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High level of trust in employees, even if new to the company and unproven Awesome perks (shop, food, froyo, rocket launches, etc) Team treated me like family Plenty of interesting projects Work environment allows employees to see rockets/rocket parts on breaks Feel like a part of history every time a rocket lands Very friendly culture Flexible schedule

      Cons

      Staffing is slim in most areas Intern housing is decent but expensive Low communication levels with management Crucial team members can take sudden vacations for weeks at a time (compounding the slim staffing) Almost zero training

      Pros

      This company is pushing the boundaries of what the human race can achieve - that by itself should be driving you to work for SpaceX. All interns are given meaningful projects that have tremendous impact on the business. A lot of the mundane things are done by the full-time employees to give the interns a chance to drive real change. Many of the changes proposed by interns are actually implemented by the company. Free froyo everyday. Amazing food. You get to watch the launch from mission control.

      Cons

      A little confusing in terms of work place expectations, and since SpaceX is still considered a start up, things will be confusing. There's a lot to learn and it's impossible to understand everything you need to know during training. You really have to pay attention to details and force yourself to digest how everything around you functions.

      Pros

      Super fun environment that really pushes everyone to their best. Great camaraderie among employees. Everyone is super driven and extremely competent. Definitely a work hard, play hard environment. I love coming to work every day.

      Cons

      I don't know if the hours that are expected would allow for raising a family.
