Pros

SpaceX has extremely talented employees. You truly get to work with the best and brightest. The work is challenging and keeps you motivated and excited. A few great perks: barista bar, free froyo, many lunch/dinner options, smoothie station, beautiful healthcare center, on-site dentist

Cons

Work/life balance can be challenging to manage. Direction/area of focus tends to change quite frequently. It can be difficult to define a career path since the company is so flat.

Cons

Because they grew so fast from a startup there are large number of systems to navigate old filing and doc control systems for different departments, but they are in the process of transferring to one common system for all departments.

Pros

* Room for growth * Problem solving * Proof big things have small beginnings * Personal growth in time management * Personal growth in meeting deadlines * You will be heard if you want to be * All complaints will be addressed if you so wish * We are the only ones who do what we do * We do more with less * All in house work * American made * No dependence on foreign nations * Your place in the company is completely up to you

Cons

I don't have Cons with the company but I do have Cons with individuals having poor work ethics when it comes to their responsibilities. These kinds of things are between the individuals and I don't feel i should take such liberty on personal matters. It's called chain of command, if you do not get results, work your way up the ladder until it does get addressed. I had complaints, I worked my chain of command and I see and feel results. If you have cons that bad is on you not the company. Take charge of your life like our CEO/COO did/does. You and only you can steer the perception of your own reality.
