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: I've worked at SpaceX for over a decade. It is full of innovative people who love a challenge, and value achieving amazing things. The work is never boring. The goals are inspiring. The people I work with are motivated, hard-working, and friendly. Leadership is focused, flexible, wise, and technically excellent.

Cons: Lately, lots of negative media coverage despite SpaceX being a very safe, diverse, and engaging workplace environment. The media used to love SpaceX, and the company has only become better over time, so I'm guessing this'll unfortunately ebb and flow with the political landscape. Some people may say that work/life balance is difficult, but not in my experience.

Pros: - Working with some of the best engineers in the world - Access to high technical growth and being on the forefront of cutting-edge technology - Some teams better than others do invest in career and personal growth from technical standpoints - Stock compensation growth over 5.5 years has given me financial freedom that I never really expected to achieve by 35 years old

Cons: - Rigorous, fast-paced environment that isn't for everyone. You'll need to execute tasks fairly quickly, and at a high level. - High-stakes environment where there is lots of stress when things aren't working.
