Pros

Excellent opportunity to have a huge personal impact on the future of manned spaceflight. Entry level engineers have more responsibility and power than almost anywhere else

Cons

The personal demands can be stressful, and hours are often unpredictable. Offsite parking is also a drag, but they're working on that.

Pros

Fast pace projects and short development cycles allow for quick growth and experience. You get to quickly try out your ideas and find out if they work or not. Designing reusable is a problem no one has solved fully yet. As a result, management encourages out of the box thinking and calculated design risks to meet this ambitious goal. Incredible amount of responsibility given to entry level engineers.

Cons

Expectations are incredibly high for all the engineering staff at SpaceX. To meet quality and throughput expectations requires a lot of hours.
