Pros

The benefits are good, you get to work with some brilliant and amazing people. Everyone there is hardworking, dedicated, and passionate. It is awesome feeling when you wake up excited you get to go to work.

Cons

No work life balance. If it weren't for the company's mission of making mankind a multi-planetary species, its an exploitative soul crushing job. No one would tolerate what SpaceX demands if it was just any other company. You have to truly believe in the company's goals or you will be burnt out or kicked out by management.

Pros

By far the best job and employer I have had since leaving the submarine force 20 years ago. Everybody stays focused on the mission of launching the next payload and really must work as a team to make it happen. Because of the laser focus, there is no room or time for pettiness or office politics. I am proud to be part of the SpaceX team where we all have a sense of purpose and have a large impact as individuals and team members.

Cons

SpaceX is not for folks who pace themselves and watch the clock or enjoy hiding behind a bureaucracy. These are actually pros but wanted to emphasize that you have to pull more than your own weight to be successful.
