      Pros

      Good pay,lots of overtime,chance to travel

      Cons

      This company does whatever it wants. They fire people whenever they want too. They answer to no one,nobody overseas the work or the people that build these rockets. When I was hired I was given a letter of exceptenced on Friday and started work on Monday no medical physical no drug scream nothing and now there going to be putting people on there rockets. How do you think they are able to launch for so much cheaper then other company's, because there not regulated like these other company's are. Somebody need to take a good look at this company and the people who are putting these rockets together

      Pros

      With mandatory 10 hour days you get good overtime pay.

      Cons

      Everything. The culture there is set up for failure. The mindset it not about a good product but the next product.

      Pros

      The responsibility afforded to young engineers at SpaceX is unmatched in the Aerospace industry. The magnitude and complexity of the projects force engineers to become self-reliant, efficient and often cross-disciplinary. SpaceX is incredibly nimble and is always willing to adopt new processes and tools. You will absolutely leave SpaceX as a better engineer…

      Cons

      …the downside: you will absolutely leave SpaceX. The work/life balance is atrocious and the compensation is frustratingly low considering that employees generally work 50-100% more than their peers at other companies (70 hr weeks are commonplace). You will not have time for hobbies, you will not have time to maintain relationships and you may not even have time to remain physically healthy.
