Pros

Many amenities and employee perks. A very fun place to work that makes you feel like you're hanging out with friends having fun, eating, free coffee and frozen yogurt, chef prepared meals every meal of the day (breakfast, lunch, & dinner served in 3 on-site cafes). On-site car washes, attraction discount tickets, commuter benefits, all medical/dental/vision benefits are paid in full by the company for you and you get to select any medical plan you want (HMO, EPO, PPO). SpaceX also covers your life, ad&d, etc. insurance coverage costs. A great, fun place to work.

Cons

Long hours, but the environment is fun and set up to keep you comfortable and liking the work atmosphere. It's comfortable and fun and there are so many amenities that you have everything you need at work.

Pros

Phenomenal objective and product. Very exciting endeavor. Seems like "Technology Disneyland" ... at first ....

Cons

"Sell your Soul" should be a phrase in their Employment Offer Letter. They brow-beat Anyone [in Operations] who isn't willing to sacrifice Every Other aspect of their lives, to work at SpaceX. Sad part is, all of the ingredients are there to make it a STELLAR place to work; but, they have no interest in constructive input from Operations [drones], regardless of their previous experience. They do NOT treat employees "like the Best", despite [seeking only] the Best. C'mon, people out there value Free Lattes as a Rewarding Place to Work ... REALLY ?! Too many [apparently] have a serious Lack of Priorities in their lives. Say No to family. Say No to kids. Say No to Hobbies / outside interests. Say No to your Health / Well-Being ....
