Pros: - Large ownership scope - Autonomy to own decisions and processes - Fast pace that accelerates learning potential

Cons: - Poor WLB - Toxic relationship between supply chain, production, and design - Line leaders who are unwilling to communicate actual risk or push back on schedule to senior leadership

Pros: - Very open and cooperative culture - Can-do mindset - Break-through mindset

Cons: Weak HR with weak processes to protect employees Always on survival mode culture Less of training and more of performance management Some managers who use the review process as a weapon to bring people in-line

Pros: Fast pace, forward-thinking company. At SpaceX, you are given freedom (in my experience). This works great for some, but can be a limitation for others. Note that I had worked here for 5 years, and I worked at a "competitor" (using that term loosely); so, I am biased and returned because I missed the energy and my team.

Cons: Location. However, it is worth the hassle of the commute.
