      Demanding, but rewarding.

      Pros

      SpaceX is changing the world, and that's an exciting thing. Everyone's highly motivated, high energy, and very intelligent. If you want to make a difference, this is the place to be.

      Cons

      SpaceX can also be a very challenging environment. The hours are long, and the deadlines are unforgiving. Be prepared to sacrifice large chunks of your free time.

      Incredibly long hours and lots of work, but great seeing your product in the long run.

      Pros

      Hardworking, helpful employees. Great having frozen yogurt and drinks available. Excellent place to intern. Good resources available to broaden your horizons and knowledge. Engineers are involved in all phases of the project; design, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and installation. When traveling for work, you are really taken care of.

      Cons

      Management does not talk to employees. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing... not organized very well. Hard to balance social life and work. All mistakes are noticed or reported, but no praise for exceptional work. They claim to take the top 1%, but some management and early employees do not resemble their own criteria.

      An amaizing, high pressure environment with excellent employees and poor senior management

      Pros

      SpaceX does amaizing things and has amaizing goals. You will work with some of the most intelligent people on the planet, and on some of the most interesting hardware being built anywhere in the world. Stock Options.

      Cons

      Poor communication to top leadership, scape goat based firiings, poor salaries, extremely long hours, poor work life balance. Benifits are worse than those of competitors.
