      Engaging job with good perks

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work is very engaging and fills you with a sense of purpose. Few companies have so many interesting projects to work on. Even new employees have the opportunity to impact the company.

      Cons

      As many have said before, a lot is expected of each employee. This usually means long hours and intense focus. Also salary doesn't scale based on location. LA is expensive.

      Challenging but invigorating

      Pros

      If you like to be constantly challenged, aren't intimidated by intelligent people or hard work, than SpaceX is the place to work. Yes, it's fast pace and yes, we can work long hours - but it's typically peaks and valleys. We don't work long hours because someone is making us. We work long hours because the work is fun and addicting. You will not be rewarded because you work long hours. You'll get rewarded because you are productive - don't get distracted by squirrels and you'll be fine. Side perk: working for SpaceX is generally a great conversation topic when meeting new people.

      Cons

      The company is very design engineering focused and so if you aren't a rocket designer you can be made to feel like you're less important. But I remind myself (and others) that my group supports the business systems which supports the making of the rockets which generates the cash flow needed to get to Mars.
