SpaceX reviews

I've always been a top performer at every job prior to SpaceX. The people here are crazy smart and talented I eat it up. It's great to finally work with people that match my brain power and my drive for success. I've always put in more than 40+ hours a week but at my previous engineering job, I was put down and scolded for being 'a young go getter trying to make people look bad'. SpaceX is a meritocracy at its core where "best idea wins". Performance matters, not age. My wife says that I work the same amount of hours at spacex as I did at all of my other jobs. The main subjective difference is that I come home happy. Company is constantly redesigning the rocket. This leaves huge opportunities for growth and really tough problems that need fixing. I became an operations manager after 3 years. The position did not exist. I helped identify a need and filled a position that was needed. Somewhat flat organization in Vehicle Engineering department. It goes President, VP, Director, me (manager). I have regular conversations with the VP and makes me feel like I can really drive change in my department. And I regularly change my group where I feel like it needs to go. Lots of freedom for good ideas.

World class peers Great management (in software at least) Good stock sharing Huge opportunity to use many different technologies Looks great on a resume An absolute beehive of activity (if you like that kind of thing) No expense spared on desks/computers/monitors/chairs Amazing food at restaurant Mgt is flexible on hours, and if you need to go to a doctor or something.
