      Pros

      Amazing group to work with. You will feel as important as anyone else and your responsibilities truly help the company grow and get better every day. No other job can you make you feel as needed and wanted as SpaceX does. You will love what you do and you will take pride that you contribute to a much bigger goal than just a typical launch company.

      Cons

      Hours and work life balance... everyone knows this about spacex and the launch industry. Its a tough gig but worth it.

      Pros

      I've been working here for just over three months. It's an exceptionally cool place to work - being involved in rocket launches is just, well cool. You get to think outside the box, come up with novel ideas to overcome challenges - I like that there isn't a "that's the way we've always done it" mentality and relatively light bureaucracy to get things done. Insurance is second to none - absolutely fantastic.

      Cons

      Work-life balance SUCKS. Work schedules constantly change (due to the nature of the business) and it's difficult to plan things. For those who want overtime, it's there in abundance. However, for those who do not want overtime, it's still there in abundance. Also, in my particular profession, vertical opportunities are slim. However, I lateral opportunities can exist if you're willing to go for it. Lack of a matching 401(k) is a big draw back; Also, in a field that is constantly evolving, tuition reimbursement would be a huge plus.
