Pros

Amazing technology. Great telemetry, often data driven decisions. Some of the smartest people you'll work with.

Cons

Leadership is either ex-Tesla, or Musk-worshiping. Drive you to do insane/impossible things, and will fire people until they find someone who finds the 'trick answer' to their insane request that satisfies them and makes them feel like they were a good leader. Compensation includes/relies on equity, with no plan to IPO, and the board routinely denying any and every secondary market transaction that they can.

If you work here, do not ever expect to liquidate your equity, and do not include it in your compensation.
