Low Wage for Skilled Employees

Pros

Fast work environment, people are cool, competitive atmosphere, room for growth under certain managers

Cons

Low wages for experience, grid system that determines level/pay is great in theory, but if your manager isn’t pushing for you they will keep you as low in pay as possible for as long as possible.

Pros

You get to build rockets! Competitive salary/wage with legacy companies Lucrative stock options for salary The food and coffee options are outstanding Incredible access to witness the company's operations

Cons

Zero work/life balance. Your time belongs to SpaceX High employee turnover. First line leaders are scape goats for failure to meet impossible deadlines. Disconnected senior leadership - nothing flows from the top. Ownership is looked down on. The blame game rules. Deadline chicken is the norm.
