      Pros

      Awesome benefits!!! Pays way better than I could paid any where else. So far I like the management, they are alway coming by and asking how are things. They don't make you feel bad for having to call in sick, my previous employer would. They don't give me flack for having to do for fill my military reserve duty. Very military friendly!!!!!!

      Cons

      You do work long hours and its something to get use to. I don't mind it because I have bills to pay and I am single but for the people with families I can see it being a problem. As of right now I don't there being a lot of opportunities to grow but it's still early to tell.

      Pros

      The benefits are good, you get to work with some brilliant and amazing people. Everyone there is hardworking, dedicated, and passionate. It is awesome feeling when you wake up excited you get to go to work.

      Cons

      No work life balance. If it weren't for the company's mission of making mankind a multi-planetary species, its an exploitative soul crushing job. No one would tolerate what SpaceX demands if it was just any other company. You have to truly believe in the company's goals or you will be burnt out or kicked out by management.

      Pros

      By far the best job and employer I have had since leaving the submarine force 20 years ago. Everybody stays focused on the mission of launching the next payload and really must work as a team to make it happen. Because of the laser focus, there is no room or time for pettiness or office politics. I am proud to be part of the SpaceX team where we all have a sense of purpose and have a large impact as individuals and team members.

      Cons

      SpaceX is not for folks who pace themselves and watch the clock or enjoy hiding behind a bureaucracy. These are actually pros but wanted to emphasize that you have to pull more than your own weight to be successful.
