Pros

You get to have your hands on a rocket or spacecraft every day. That fact alone makes the job worth it. It's a fast paced environment and I would say about 85-90% of the employees are top of their field/highly driven individuals. After all my years in the military this is a very rewarding job.

Cons

Work-Life balance, there is none. At all. They do tell you this before you're hired on though so if you're not prepared for it you didn't pay attention. The down side to pretty much devoting your life to Space-X is that the pay is average-below average. I see a lot of Tech's/Engineers jumping ship for higher paying/less demanding jobs after SpaceX runs them into the ground.

Pros

The overtime is really nice on the paycheck. Cool and challenging projects to work on that push your abilities as a technician.

Cons

Time away from family is bad. There is terrible management here and safety is not a main concern for employees.

Pros

Space Ships, Incredibly Dedicated Ppl , AMAZING Technology and goal that is out of this world! Literally! I have worked for several heavy hitters: GE, Lockheed, P&G etc. but have never had this feeling of I have to work here until will reach this goal! I am so blessed to be working here! Not to mention I love my boss! That has never happened to me before either! Remember ppl work for ppl !

Cons

There are long hours as we all know but its not like you are looking at the clock, its like you are running a marathon and see a station to get re-energized for your next mile, you are excited to see it but you are more so ready to get back in there!
