Pros

Very cool product and smart team. Great and low prices food, all the free fro yo and caffeine you can handle. Rockets are about as cool as it gets.

Cons

Long hours and a lot of it is needless face time that is expected by CEO. Top of the house is brilliant but lacks basic leadership ability and common sense.

Pros

Great place to work, okay place to intern. People you work with are very knowledgeable and committed. It's nice to have people around you who are equally committed to success.

Cons

Interns not given nearly as much responsibility as most interns will tell you, and the work is not as interesting as they'll tell you. Easily possible to get an excellent review having done very little. A lot of back patting about how hard interns work when they don't do much at all... Most tasks given are slight modifications and redesigns where the re-designing is already essentially done.

Pros

SpaceX is a highly motivated environment and there is plenty of good moral to vibe off of. As an engineer, i get to work with some of the most skilled and competent technicians i have ever worked with. Food and massage benefits are pretty awesome too.

Cons

Since everyone works so hard and long, its impossible to stand out for doing great work.
