      Challenging but rewarding

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast-paced work environment Never a dull day Individual employees given a lot of responsibility, meaning you can really make an impact Great place to start your career, you learn a lot Great place to fail

      Cons

      Can be a very ambiguous in terms of expectations Very long working hours, can be unnecessary, people aren't encouraged to balance work and life so burnout is common Different culture and experience by employees at different sites, perks aren't equal Career planning and development is non-existent

      Landed the Dream Job

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - never a dull moment; the job keeps you on your toes - company culture promotes hard work and honest, detailed analysis - everyone here is pretty cool - learn something new every day - rockets are sweet - food/coffee/benefits are great - you get lots of responsibility early on if you want it - company is breaking new ground for the aerospace industry, and being a part of that is amazing - we will get spacecraft and people to mars!

      Cons

      - work hours can get long (limited time for life outside of work), and those hours are expected (also required for the company to thrive; SpaceX wouldn't be what it is today without this aspect) - stock options instead of 401k matching is a bit risky - while starting salary is competitive, I get the feeling that mid-level is not the greatest compensation wise

      Great Job Satisfaction

      Pros

      Every employee makes an impact each and every day. We all make a difference. This is the first job I have had since leaving the military 20 years ago that is 'mission based' where everybody has a singular focus and teamwork is a way of life. There are no petty politics or career bureaucrats getting in the way of true progress. Likewise, the meetings are kept to a minimum and are agenda driven...no meetings just to have meetings. Very solid benefits package.

      Cons

      This is not a place for those who make it their mission to do as little as possible and collect a paycheck. This is not a place for those who need a set work schedule, unable to work weekends and holidays, and lack commitment to the job and the mission.
