Pros

You will be challenged, you will work long hours and you will receive some nice benefits such as company stock, medical and dental and lots of overtime😳free coffee and drinks and the lunch room is pretty nice with a salad bar, Buffett style served food or hamburgers or pizza etc...as well as ice cream not bad. Oh and discounts on items at the company store and launch patches with your employee number on it. You will multitask on your computer at all times and everything you do will be documented on your computer. Warp drive is the system you will become very familiar with as well as documents, emails, hr, appointments, meetings etc.. including events and everything legal...etc, etc, etc Warp drive is the life blood of the company and your link to all SpaceX activity. Have fun learning SpaceX.

Cons

You will be groomed to achieve success weather you like it or not. You will be on camera 24/7. Your time you spend on work activities will be monitored. Security camera's are everywhere. They know when you sneeze. Your work performance will be rated every two weeks, you will go through a 90 day trail period. Smart people last 2 weeks, really smart people last 2 years and geniuses last about 5 year's and yes SpaceX is a revolving door for talented people especially engineer's and ego maniac's and intern's 🤫🤭😂🚀

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.
