SpaceX reviews

The most inspiring aspects of this job are the ability to learn a lot of new stuff quickly and the reality of seeing your work result in a finished vehicle. The work environment is fast paced and sometimes there are major changes in direction along the way, but it is great working on programs that last months or years vs decades like other aerospace projects. Through my 6 years at Spacex, I quickly developed new analysis, design, manufacturing and project management skills because of the diverse workload. Spacex is less about building a giant system to make sure that any idiot who comes to work will be able to turn the crank, and more about putting trust in smart individuals to make good decisions and get things done. To ambitious people who want to do relevant work, this is great situation. Those who just want to turn the crank need not apply.

Opportunity is everywhere, you just have to muster the expertise and energy to go after it. Highly motivated individuals who embrace a fast-paced no-nonsense approach to solving complex engineering and business problems will enjoy employment at SpaceX. Performance and innovation is rewarded with opportunities for rapid advancement. Working here is great, I know my career is 5-10 years ahead of where it would be working elsewhere in this industry in this length of time. The status quo is simply not acceptable for anything at SpaceX, there is always a better way to solve a problem and something new to learn and practice. Good ideas are embraced, responsibility carried at an individual level is high. You will not find yourself battling levels of management to spend some money to evaluate a new design or process.
