      10 years and still loving it!

      Pros

      Unlimited opportunities for responsibility/growth, new challenges each day, working with the smartest people in the world on a bold mission, stock ownership opportunities, etc.

      Cons

      Always more to do than time to do it, but that makes for a fun challenge of constantly improving your own/team's efficiencies and finding ways to get it done. In the early days, that meant working some long hours/weeks, but 50 is now the norm and totally manageable.

      I love mugs

      Pros

      The people (and interns) that I am surrounded by are without a doubt the smartest people I have been around in my life. We work on ROCKETS! The company provides group housing right next to the beach for all interns. You learn at a crazy rate. You are given real responsibility. The cafeteria has great food. Low prices, big portions. Amazing experience. Your friends will be jealous. Great career opportunities. Future prospective growth. Company shuttle to work. You will be busy. No doubt about it. Take it how you will. I would rather be busy than not. I get in at 7:30, look up from the computer and I say shoot.. its time for lunch already? Then I look up from my computer again and its 6... time to go home. Casual work environment. Changing the world / solar system ;] Amazing Culture. People don't really care how or when you get your work done, as long as you get it done right and on time. Be yourself. Overall I love it here. The pressure is real, but that's a good thing right?

      Cons

      Work life balance. It isn't as bad as most of the other reviews make it seem. I work 10 hours a day. That is what most interns default to. If you are working in a really important department you might work more, but that needs approval. There is a lot of pressure to figure things out on your own, which is good (spread those wings), but can also hold you back. LA isn't my favorite. Organizational silos, but every company has that. At least you can walk down the aisle and talk to the other party.

      For the doers and dreamers

      Pros

      Incredible workplace where brilliant minds from across the world coalesce under a single roof to push the boundaries of space exploration. The flat hierarchy and "get it done" culture create the perfect environment for doers and dreamers to leave a real impact on the course of the human race.

      Cons

      If you aren't fired up by the idea of manufacturing and launching the world's most advanced rocketry and spacecraft to one day colonize the red planet, then this is not the place for you.
