      Pros

      Overall the raped execution of ideas and plans makes for a very exciting work environment. I end up doing way more engineering than at other companies becaseu we move so fast here. Overall it's extremely productive.

      Cons

      I'm not working in my field of expertise, it seems like a waste. I think it's an indication on spacex's part that they aren't using their talent properly, they could definitely use some better organization and consolidation.

      Pros

      This company will push you in a way that reveals your shortcomings as an engineer within the first few weeks, and will show you how to improve your abilities. There is no hand-holding; once you know where you need to improve, the expectation is that you put in the time and effort to make the necessary adjustments. If you are looking to become a more effective engineer, produce some of the best work of your career, and have the motivation to put in the time to get there - this is the place for you.

      Cons

      If you aren't willing to make the time commitment as an investment in your engineering skills, don't apply for this position. If you are not invested in SpaceX's objectives as a company, you will quickly lose the passion and motivation needed to meet their deadlines and work demands. The adjustment period can be difficult, as you are expected to get up to speed quickly. The structure of the company is very flat and not well defined and communication standards needs some work.

      Pros

      I love working at SpaceX for several reasons. The people are incredibly passionate, experienced, and creative. Everyone I've met is so excited to work here, and pours their heart and soul into their work. I like the culture, and the feel of a small company. I got the feeling that every employee matters, and is crucial to the success of the mission. Not to mention, SpaceX is doing incredible work in the space exploration industry. If SpaceX says they'll do something, then they do it.

      Cons

      SpaceX is a very intense environment, and demands a lot from employees. There isn't much of a work-life balance.
