      Pros

      -Trusted with and expected to complete challenging and meaningful projects -Everyone is hard working, helpful, very smart, and prideful -Fast pace and scope of projects keep work interesting and dynamic -Working near/on rockets and launch pads is incredible -Excellent pay -Free food

      Cons

      -You will work more than an average internship. To me this is not a con, but to others it may be. I actually wish they didn't limit us to 50 hour weeks.

      Pros

      SpaceX is a great chance to participate in a historic and, potentially, world-changing program My coworkers are dedicated and energetic, ready to help out and work late in order to solve problems and make sure important jobs are not neglected. My workplace is sci-fi chic, with a top notch cafeteria, free espresso beverages, and decorated with museum-worthy pieces of hardware, including a flown Dragon spacecraft and a flown Falcon 9 rocket stage. My work is rewarding, in that I can make a meaningful contribution to the program while also learning a lot about my own and many other disciplines.

      Cons

      The successful employee must accept uncertainty and ambiguity. Much of my work requires having a flexible schedule, because tests and launches are often delayed. Shared tools are constantly "improving", which means adding features I don't understand while removing features I really like.

      Pros

      Everyone is passionate about what we're doing. There are a lot of interesting new things going on and you can see a good amount of it. Every day I go in knowing that I am contributing to one of the most complex projects in existence and that I am personally making a difference. Also there is delicious and cheap food.

      Cons

      You work a little more than the average 40 hour work week.
