      Pros

      Awesome benefits, ok pay, for the most part good people to work with, its spacecraft testing, we're going to mars, you see cool stuff at work all the time

      Cons

      work schedule sucks. be prepared to work all the time (at least 10 hours everyday) even if you're told that you have off. including almost every weekend. Make SpaceX your life. Technicians are here all the time. management is usually here part time but they expect you to be here all the time. Was told to complete this review.

      Pros

      great environment and people. love the mission and being different than other launch services.great people that have worked their tails off from the very beginning to make this place as amazing as it is today

      Cons

      you must be committed to spacex. people that aren't in it all the way eventually get pushed out the door. you do have to put in quite a few hours. its a lot better than it was but we still work a lot

      Something Bigger than Yourself

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - There is a real sense of working towards the potential to change the course of humanity, something bigger than yourself - High level of responsibility within the hands of every engineer, feels like your work is important - Working with some of the smartest people in the world

      Cons

      - Very difficult to achieve a good work/life balance, each vacation day feels like you are letting down the team since everybody is such an important individual contributor - Hiring expectations for engineers are so high that it is very difficult to keep up with attrition
