Pros

The overtime is really nice on the paycheck. Cool and challenging projects to work on that push your abilities as a technician.

Cons

Time away from family is bad. There is terrible management here and safety is not a main concern for employees.

Pros

SpaceX is super ambitious and enthusiastic in pursuing its goal of making life multi-planetary by way of reusable rockets and spacecraft. We simply know that we will do it, and it's at the heart of everything we do everyday. We do not take for granted that our coworkers, our friends, were carefully selected to be very good at what we do. This means we get to work with an outstanding team.

Cons

The only routine aspect of SpaceX is its chaotic strategic changes in direction. While they generally pan out for the greater good, the process is chaotic and plays its toll on individuals.

Amazing work place, very challenging and innovative company. Lots of little perks here and there like a tech company

Cons

I've heard people complain about long hours but when you love your job, it doesn't feel long.
