Pros
SpaceX is by far the most interesting internship I've ever had. SpaceX trusts interns with valuable projects that will actually go towards company improvement. In my past two internships, which were with two different oil and gas operator companies, I felt as if my projects were just a way to waste my time. As an intern, my input is valued and I am treated with the respect that any full time employee would receive. I feel respected as a female engineer, and that my ideas are taken seriously which can be hard in other industries.
Cons
The only cons I have with this internship is that it is very time demanding, so work/life balance can be somewhat challenging. But the work is so interesting that the hours seem to fly by. I'm also not the biggest fan of the location being in McGregor.
