Pros

Very fast paced environment which I enjoyed. Every day brought it's own challenges and overcoming those challenges is incredibly rewarding. Not only that but you actually get to see and work on ROCKETS. Honestly, being a space nerd made Cape Canaveral the best location. Seeing a rocket launch - especially one you worked on - is one of the coolest things I have ever seen, and not to mention the history of Cape Canaveral. Keep in mind, SpaceX currently works at pad 39A, where all the Apollo missions and most of the shuttle missions launched from!

Cons

Hours can be a little rough sometimes. But, most everyone that works at SpaceX knows that going in, so be prepared for those long days.

Pros

- My job is meaningful and our goals are not unrealistic - Meetings are efficient and you know your action items coming out of one - We do away with all the typical chains of management - Management is open if you want your role to go in a certain direction - Men/Women treated equally, friendly environment

Cons

From day 1, there is no formal training. You learn as you go and sometimes others on the team are just too overloaded to teach a new hire. Need better onboarding process. Stressful environment because work is never ending, but it's never the same thing.
