Pros

Smart, passionate coworkers. We have an inspiring mission broken into manageable milestones. The company's impact on the aerospace industry is already tangible. Likewise, personal impact on the company can often be huge.

Cons

As many before me as already said, work/life balance is difficult to manage. Personal sacrifice is certainly expected at times. Additionally, there is a lot of pressure from the top to meet impossible deadlines. The levels of management typically don't stand up against these so the pressure is passed on to all tiers of employees.

Pros

Working at SpaceX definitely provides a sense of contributing to something much greater than yourself. The best part is that just about everyone here feels that way and is very passionate about their work and the team. It's a unique opportunity to work with intelligent, passionate and friendly (personality fit is VERY important here) professionals on history making endeavors.

Cons

It is a very dynamic environment not for the faint of heart and easily discouraged. Unexpected changes and huge challenges are a part of the daily workday. This translates to some long hours and a hectic schedule.
