It certainly has a bit of a tilt on it.

Oh yes. About a 5 degree tilt apparently.
They've been bobbing around outside the port for a couple of days now, but they're finally bringing it in now. The delay yesterday was due to the arrival of a British trident submarine, HMS Vengeance. Herself in Port Canaveral to have her own rockets seen to.

You can see they've chained it down to the deck this time to stop it leaning any more.

I suspect being shouted at by Elon Musk and set near-impossible tasks may take the shine off it a little though!
I see enough excited people in the flight recordings to believe that working conditions may be better than you think.There is an interesting interview with Elon on YouTube where he talks about one of his mistakes, a mistake that he has made a number of times but now works hard to avoid, being to focus too much on peoples talent and not their personalities and talks about the fact that it's important to have people with big hearts. He talks about his brother being the nicest person he has ever known and how he now tries to recruit people with big hearts as that's an important component of the culture.
He also says that there is a strict policy at SpaceX to sack aholes
So I'd still say it must be awesome to work there.
