      Nobody ever said it was easy, but it could pay more.

      Pros

      If you're organized, like a fast-paced environment, and complete what needs to be done efficiently then you will do well.

      Cons

      Compensation for structures and material technicians with qualifying experience does not match average compensation rates listed here on the site.

      Exciting company, poor location.

      Pros

      The excitement before and during launches is fantastic. There are a lot of perks like free soda, coffee barista, and frozen yogurt, great cheap food on site and many more little details that made day to day a big easier.

      Cons

      For me the only real negative was the location. You either had to pay way too much for a rental, live in the ghetto, or sometimes both. In the end I just couldn't afford to live close enough and couldn't keep commuting.

      Excellent Company to Challenge Oneself and Grow

      Pros

      The culture here is great! Everyone proudly sports their SpaceX gear and believes in the mission. Hours here are flexible, the environment is casual, and the people are friendly. The work is challenging, and makes you feel like you're really making an impact (and you are, because you get issued company stock). This is the perfect environment for an engineer to learn and grow. I've personally seen several promotions since I've been here, and met some extremely smart people. Perks: Free Starbucks-like Coffee and Frozen Yogurt, Subsidized gourmet meals, Cheap SpaceX swag.

      Cons

      The hours are long; however, no one is forcing you to stay, there is just a lot to do. Fortunately, there are several couches and places where you can unwind and de-stress when you need to. Being able to make your own hours also helps. Also, the base salary isn't as high as competitors (it's still fair), but the stock awards normally make up for it. Those who don't have a passion for aerospace technologies nor believe in Elon's vision will burn themselves out quickly.
