      Could I be given more reponsibility? I don't think so.

      Pros

      Where else do you get to directly work on a vehicle that will take people to the ISS and later to Mars? Nowhere else. I consider myself lucky to be at this company, since I know that a lot of interns elsewhere are happy just if their project is used after they leave. The project I'm in charge of is critical to, and will directly be used in, every single Crew Dragon mission. Within the first week, I was thrown into my project and expected to perform at an intense level. I've grown technically and professionally more in 3 months than in 4 years of school. Even when I don't perform at 100%, my coworkers are extremely encouraging and helpful.

      Cons

      Housing could be better. Compensation could be better. But again, Mars? Yes, please.

      Pros

      This company is pushing the boundaries of what the human race can achieve - that by itself should be driving you to work for SpaceX. All interns are given meaningful projects that have tremendous impact on the business. A lot of the mundane things are done by the full-time employees to give the interns a chance to drive real change. Many of the changes proposed by interns are actually implemented by the company. Free froyo everyday. Amazing food. You get to watch the launch from mission control.

      Cons

      A little confusing in terms of work place expectations, and since SpaceX is still considered a start up, things will be confusing. There's a lot to learn and it's impossible to understand everything you need to know during training. You really have to pay attention to details and force yourself to digest how everything around you functions.

      Pros

      Super fun environment that really pushes everyone to their best. Great camaraderie among employees. Everyone is super driven and extremely competent. Definitely a work hard, play hard environment. I love coming to work every day.

      Cons

      I don't know if the hours that are expected would allow for raising a family.
