Working with Elon

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- You get to go after goals that most companies would either find impossible or would not be able to fund. - Nearly everyone you work with is a rock star and is highly motivated towards our goals. - Benefits are good and the stock growth has been life changing.

Cons

- There is no work life balance depending on where you are in the company. Crazy long hours and very regular late night calls with Elon take a massive toll. Recently attrition has been very bad.

SpaceX In a nutshell

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

SpaceX is an incredibly stimulating business to work for. Access to problem sets and company resources is nearly boundless. I like to explain SpaceX as the largest small business you will ever see. We have enough money to solve problems legitimately, but the determination of a small business struggling for survival.

Cons

The required hours for success are insane. As systems are being constructed and tested, there is a massive manual effort required to move information around the business. Removal of necessary statusing and confusing communications would provide more time to perform actual value added work without additional resources
