      Pros

      Brilliant colleagues. Insane challenges. Like being force fed personal growth. The feeling of contributing to a great cause is like a drug. Objective and critical climate.

      Cons

      Long hours. Brutal requirements. You will be expected to work magic. Exceptional is the norm. You are not special.

      Pros

      You are surrounded by driven, intelligent people all with the same goals. The facilities are great - free coffee/frozen yogurt, the meals are good and cheap. SpaceX also offers different speaker series, both with executives within the company and outside of it. In my experience, senior management has always been accessible and willing to hear your ideas/help you out. It's also very inspiring to be led by Gwynne (President) and hear her speak. Also, you are working on rockets and spacecraft that actually go into space. That's a pretty big pro.

      Cons

      Like a majority of aerospace companies/startups/tech companies, the overall employee makeup is mostly (white) men, which can be daunting at times. However, there are more women/minorities here than you would think.
