Pros

Great Company to start at to deep dive into technical experiences while collecting some stock incentives over the 5 year vest cycle. Try to gain as much experience as you can here.

Cons

Super long hours, make this an unsustainable place to work long term so after vesting many people leave the company leaving gaps in tribal knowledge Base Pay is fairly low, but Stocks are decent considering company has room to grow. However, the later you join the less that makes since since the price increases.

Pros

Working at Spacex was a relief after spending eight years in a union. Here your ideas are heard, your abilities are allowed to be displayed, and hard work is acknowledged. Generous time off, flexible management. You help send rockets to space.

Cons

This is not a job to be taken based solely on financial purpose. The pay is not competitive. However, if you want to be here, you will enjoy it. You also have the ability to work a lot of overtime, so again, if you want to be here, you can make it work.
