Pros

Space X is a company that is always moving forward. They are making history happen whether you realize it or not. Innovation is a key factor here, and it is the momentum this company carries. Everyone here is expected to be excellent, so that means there will be challenges along the way. This is why people are only getting better at there job and why this company has such a great succession rate. What makes this place even better though is the great people that work here. Everyone is friendly and easy to get along with. Plus all the workers are wanting to be successful. I work in the Avionics floor and have nothing to complain about. They take care of you here and everything is always moving forward.

Cons

The are very few cons such as, working a longer hours and putting in a weekend day or two. This is what it takes to make success though.

Pros

Its a start up environment that really gives a wide range of skills and a lot of room to develop as an engineer. It also very much values its employess, makes for a more rewarding environment.

Cons

The parking situation is a bit tedious. It accounts for about 40 mins extra to the work day, its time that i would love to have back every day

Pros

Your working on the newest, coolest technologies, at a company that is moving the fastest in the Aerospace industry. If you just want to get stuff done, then this is your company. The hours are also great, not the cushy 35-40hr/wks of other large aerospace/automotive companies, but no one is watching your hours arrive and leave as you need to just get your work done!

Cons

I am perplexed by the negative reviews. There definitely is a work-first mentality. It's not a social atmosphere and no one will seek you out/hold your hand, but everyone is helpful/knowledgeable and very friendly if asked. If you're a results driven person, who is hardworking, independent, and not afraid of self introductions then this is the company for you. If you need a strong social atmosphere at work and a manager to hold your hands through the first couple months... then this definitely is not the company for you.
