SpaceX reviews

-Company expects a LOT from you, and you will be treated like you can be replaced anytime with a younger, more energetic body. -Poor work life balance. It's up to you to use your time wisely, and know your limits. -Production are a bunch of cliques. You're either in, or not. Get rid of them! -Compensation drops significantly after 5 years. -COL is high in LA, yet the pay is the same at all locations. -Stock given out nowadays is negligible. Compensate by giving salary that is at least competitive. -Stacked rankings -Elon changes his mind on what he wants on a regular basis. Sure the company is his conception, but he is not helpful. He often sends company wide emails asking us to change what our focus is. It's never thought through - and tells everyone to drop what they are doing; attend the next fire; all while what we were working on's fire keeps growing. Oh, and schedule doesn't slip because of this - he expects we just take on more because he said so. It's obvious he does not think of any details if you listen to what he says (eg. company meetings) Can I live with the above? Yes. Do I love it? Yes. But I doubt I'll stay after my stocks are invested.

You will trauma bond with your co-workers. You will see them develop drinking problems, stress related health issues, psychological trauma. You will eventually break under the load. You can do EVERYTHING right and because someone else broke the weight will shift to you and destroy you. You will be redlined for years working for them. And by the end you won't even realize what a ghost of a human being you have become. Budget a year of recovery time doing nothing difficult after you leave, at least. I don't regret taking the role. I just wish I knew when to pull the cord and get out.
