Pros

Always interesting work. It is literally rocket science! Being a test site we are always playing with the lateat hardware and working on items that will go to or have already been to space. One note I had a hard time with previous union based technician relations is that the engineer and technicians working relationship is far better than how other companies work.

Cons

Rotating shifts and longer hours. Engineering is salary and they bank on that fact. Makes it hard to have hobbies or do something like school on the side.

Pros

The work is Awesome! Great people, good benefits, SpaceX provides food for you and you get to Launch rockets. Fairly new company so there's still room to move up fast. Great Leadership and the company keeps the employees well informed on the direction we are moving, which is fast...

Cons

NO work/life balance, work A LOT of hours. No 401k matching. No pention.
