CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great place to learn as a young engineer - Fast paced high energy work environment - As an entry level employee you are given a huge amount of responsibility - Along with the responsibility you are given a lot of freedom to try new things and encouraged by management to do so - Everyone at SpaceX works extremely hard towards a unified goal - Benefits are in-line with the amount of work put in by employees

Cons

- Balance of work-life is a challenge sometimes, although when taking a job at SpaceX it is understood that you are not going to be a 40 hr/week employee. If this is an issue, the job is not for you. - As the number of employees continues to increase, communication and knowing who to talk to about what is becoming more difficult.

Great place to work

Structures engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High pace environment, with laser focus on development. The company moves as a one-soldier army and the vision of what we are trying to do is clearly communicated and shared. If you are looking for a place where your efforts are not wasted but are directly connected to the company end goal you found the place for you.

Cons

Work environment is intense: there is not much room for inefficiencies and low productivity. Much will be required of you: not a 9-5 job.

Massive responsibility, fast pace, and making a huge difference

Structures engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Making a big difference in a high profile project that is awesome. Even interns make decisions that have an effect on the rockets. You are a rocket scientist. The pay is standard and you get some stock or options.

Cons

It can be nerve wracking to have that much responsibility. People complain about long hours, but that's more of a function of the individual and how they manage their time.
