SpaceX reviews

My favorite aspects of working at SpaceX as a full-time (salaried) propulsion engineer are: - You get to take on challenging, important, and exciting missions that enable global communications, remote sensing, manned spaceflight (near future), and critical national security assets (near future), which gives nearly every day's work a sense of importance and purpose. - It's almost cliched to say, but there is something incredibly fun and exciting about working with rocket engines so much on a daily basis that you begin to take it for granted. - You can (and must) constantly push yourself and advance your knowledge to deal with technical challenges, which keeps even the longest days engaging. - Leadership gives you the resources and authority to work autonomously (and/or within a small group) to accomplish the company's goals, which frequently means that even junior engineers are given opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the company right out of the gate, which gives you an intense feeling of ownership and responsibility. - You get to work with a passionate, friendly, and diverse team that is committed to the goals of the company and also acts as a personal support network - people here really do care about each other and are almost always willing to help out, whether it's with work or personal challenges. - The company provides an incredible array of benefits ranging from big items such as competitive healthcare access, to small things like subsidized meals and free coffee (not to mention a number of other extras such as access to discounted airport parking, movie tickets, etc.) - This is often overlooked in reviews - as an employee based out of the headquarters, you get to live in Los Angeles! There will never be a lack of things to do or people to meet with the free time that you have.

SpaceX will provide you with a feeling of deep fulfillment that makes the work you do feel like the most valuable work you've ever done in your life. You'll find yourself talking about work, even when not at work, becoming passionate about industry and doing everything you can to help the mission succeed. In return, SpaceX will give you the opportunities that you never even knew you wanted - you'll feel empowered to continue to learn within and outside of your area and to make change wherever you see improvements needed. You'll have coworkers who you'll become really close to where you end up spending time with them both inside and outside of work. You'll cheer in front of mission control when you help make history and you'll raise a glass with your coworkers when you have to say the phrase, "Rockets are hard." Overall, this place will change your outlook on life - and what other company can you say has that effect?
