Pros: It is hard to find more fulfilling worth than at SpaceX, even what was normally annoying work elsewhere carries a weight of excitement at SpaceX. Almost everyone shares the same passion for space and space technology, which is a huge plus too.
Cons: There’s definitely a pressure to work as hard as possible, and sometimes various parties may not align on priorities.
