Pros

SpaceX is changing the world, and that's an exciting thing. Everyone's highly motivated, high energy, and very intelligent. If you want to make a difference, this is the place to be.

Cons

SpaceX can also be a very challenging environment. The hours are long, and the deadlines are unforgiving. Be prepared to sacrifice large chunks of your free time.

Pros

No place quite like it, applying a vertical model to space flight. Factory is in the back, can get hands on hardware Very talented co-workers. Unique experiences with test and launch. Stock options a plus.

Cons

Compensation is seemingly on the lower end. Expect a "work first" attitude. Not very team oriented, often a single person takes the fall. Function organization, dividing the stakeholders.
