Pros: Super cool company, and be ready to work and have fun

Cons: Lots of work, but not too much: 50-60 hours plus getting paged and extra, so ~60-65 for FT.

Pros: A lot of cool projects

Cons: Tons and tons of work

Pros: My team is extremely professional, competent, and kind, and looks out for each other. We are not a complete anomaly within the company, and this has allowed our team to be extremely successful. There is a broad department-to-department spread in people's experience of the company. We get stuff done in an incredible way. Fast-paced, productive, and meaningful. It can be very rewarding to work at SpaceX.

Cons: Horrifying behavior from Elon, which is constantly being rationalized by HR and execs. Constant distraction from the important work on hand. Leads to a culture of impunity when it comes to certain departments or teams. Not great for rocket production. Absurd and toxic work hours are expected of some teams, with a "do more with less" attitude that is NOT conducive to long-term success.
