Pros

Working at SpaceX definitely provides a sense of contributing to something much greater than yourself. The best part is that just about everyone here feels that way and is very passionate about their work and the team. It's a unique opportunity to work with intelligent, passionate and friendly (personality fit is VERY important here) professionals on history making endeavors.

Cons

It is a very dynamic environment not for the faint of heart and easily discouraged. Unexpected changes and huge challenges are a part of the daily workday. This translates to some long hours and a hectic schedule.

Pros

* **Unmatched Mission & Impact:** You are literally working on rockets and spacecraft. The cool factor is 10/10. * **Brilliant Coworkers:** You will be surrounded by some of the smartest, most driven engineers in the world. * **Insane Career Growth:** SpaceX on your resume is a golden ticket. You will learn more here in 3 months than in 3 years at a normal company. * **Hands-on Experience:** They actually trust interns with real, critical hardware. No boring coffee-fetching tasks.

Cons

**Cons:** * **Zero Work-Life Balance:** 70-80 hours a week is the norm, not the exception. Say goodbye to your social life and sleep. * **Extreme Burnout:** The "hustle culture" is toxic. You are expected to treat the company as your entire life. * **Mediocre Pay:** The hourly pay is average, especially when you factor in the insane hours and the high cost of living in LA/Hawthorne. * **Chaotic Management:** Decisions can change overnight based on whatever Elon Musk tweets or feels like doing that morning.
