      Pros

      What SpaceX is trying to do is awesome. Privatizing launches and aspiring to colonize Mars are tremendous goals.

      Cons

      Management is extremely weak. They lie to get you to accept a job in a so-called world class work environment and they make promises that they have no intention of honoring. Management does not have your back when you make calls contrary to what they want. Do not work here in NDT!

      Excellent Company to Challenge Oneself and Grow

      Pros

      The culture here is great! Everyone proudly sports their SpaceX gear and believes in the mission. Hours here are flexible, the environment is casual, and the people are friendly. The work is challenging, and makes you feel like you're really making an impact (and you are, because you get issued company stock). This is the perfect environment for an engineer to learn and grow. I've personally seen several promotions since I've been here, and met some extremely smart people. Perks: Free Starbucks-like Coffee and Frozen Yogurt, Subsidized gourmet meals, Cheap SpaceX swag.

      Cons

      The hours are long; however, no one is forcing you to stay, there is just a lot to do. Fortunately, there are several couches and places where you can unwind and de-stress when you need to. Being able to make your own hours also helps. Also, the base salary isn't as high as competitors (it's still fair), but the stock awards normally make up for it. Those who don't have a passion for aerospace technologies nor believe in Elon's vision will burn themselves out quickly.
