Pros

At SpaceX, you'll be able to jump on extraordinary projects fresh out of college. They put a lot of work in finding top talent, so once you get invited to join the team, they trust that you're ready to start designing and building truly revolutionary tech.

Cons

If you don't have a Type A personality, it'd be a pretty stressful environment. You definitely need to be passionate about the mission and your work in order to be successful. With that said, the "crazy hours" aren't nearly as long as a lot of people think.

Pace and amount of work are both extremely aggressive. A normal day at SpaceX would be the busiest day of the year at some other companies
