      Pros

      Fast paced, extremely innovative, highly talented co-workers, get to work on actual flight hardware, not very bureaucratic

      Cons

      Rapid changes in strategic direction. Many managers are inexperienced and focus more on technical leadership than managing people. Very little importance placed on organizational efficiency/effectiveness.

      The phrase "Free time" no longer resides in my vocabulary.

      Pros

      SpaceX is continually pushing the envelope with all kinds of new and groundbreaking projects. There is a very high percentage of incredibly intelligent and helpful people working at SpaceX which are more than happy to teach you what they know.

      Cons

      If you work especially long hours on a one project it is then expected that you will do that on every project.

      The most awesome fast-paced place to actually make a difference

      Pros

      I've been an engineer here for over 3 years now. Nowhere else will an engineer have as large an impact as here. Interns and new employees will be working on important projects right away, and you will see your project launch in months rather than decades. The turnover rate is not as bad as some reviews make it sound. Everyone that I know that has been let go has been given a legitimate chance to turn their performance around. I consider this a pro, because it makes my life harder when I am working with people who don't care about their work. Everyone at SpaceX cares about what they are doing

      Cons

      Yes, it is a lot of work. If rockets were easy, everyone would do them. If you want to read a book while at work all day, work somewhere else. Having said that, it is easy enough to manage your time once you get settled in. It is difficult at times to find the correct work/life balance, but that is based on the individual
