      This company has provided an excellent footing for rapid expansion in process knowledge in a very broad view.

      Pros

      - Fast paced - I never get bored - New and Fun - Everyone here is relatively young and the company is pretty new, we all know how to have fun. It is very enjoyable to work with my peers. - Brains - Everyone here is at highest knowledge level in each department. Learning something new everyday is a statement that is definitely highlighted here. - Friends - The people you work with here become some of your good friends and it is always fun to be around those you enjoy working with for most of the day.

      Cons

      Time spent - I can work long hours sometimes and it might be difficult to balance that for some, but it is still a great to be with others that experience the same.

      Pros

      Fast paced, extremely innovative, highly talented co-workers, get to work on actual flight hardware, not very bureaucratic

      Cons

      Rapid changes in strategic direction. Many managers are inexperienced and focus more on technical leadership than managing people. Very little importance placed on organizational efficiency/effectiveness.

      Pros

      I've been an engineer here for over 3 years now. Nowhere else will an engineer have as large an impact as here. Interns and new employees will be working on important projects right away, and you will see your project launch in months rather than decades. The turnover rate is not as bad as some reviews make it sound. Everyone that I know that has been let go has been given a legitimate chance to turn their performance around. I consider this a pro, because it makes my life harder when I am working with people who don't care about their work. Everyone at SpaceX cares about what they are doing

      Cons

      Yes, it is a lot of work. If rockets were easy, everyone would do them. If you want to read a book while at work all day, work somewhere else. Having said that, it is easy enough to manage your time once you get settled in. It is difficult at times to find the correct work/life balance, but that is based on the individual
