SpaceX reviews

The software process adds a lot of rigor. Most changes require pre-merge and post-merge verification - often on real hardware with simulations in the loop if applicable - and verification steps have to be approved by at least one other person, not just the code itself. Very interdisciplinary - on the software team you may be working with the battery team one day, and working the avionics hardware team and guidance navigation and control (GNC) another. I've learned so much about how spacecraft actually get built and tested by working with the other groups. Everyone is also happy to really explain how their system actually works so you can build a picture of what your code is going to do during tests or flight. Super fast-paced and intellectually honest environment in my division. Everyone on every team is encouraged to question requirements, designs, and test coverage right up until launch, and I've always seen my and other's concerns taken seriously and actually acted upon. Work flexibility - my manager has never minded me working from home or taking time off, even with very short notice. I've never felt pressured to work longer hours than I was working of my own accord. The feeling of seeing a system you helped develop/test work successfully in space.

You will be challenged, you will work long hours and you will receive some nice benefits such as company stock, medical and dental and lots of overtime😳free coffee and drinks and the lunch room is pretty nice with a salad bar, Buffett style served food or hamburgers or pizza etc...as well as ice cream not bad. Oh and discounts on items at the company store and launch patches with your employee number on it. You will multitask on your computer at all times and everything you do will be documented on your computer. Warp drive is the system you will become very familiar with as well as documents, emails, hr, appointments, meetings etc.. including events and everything legal...etc, etc, etc Warp drive is the life blood of the company and your link to all SpaceX activity. Have fun learning SpaceX.
