SpaceX reviews

Your office/cell/workstation is your home. Here at SpaceX, you will be expected to live, eat and breathe the miracle culture they have. You'll spend almost no time at home. Most times, you'll be expected to run a 60+ hour work week and then management will literally guilt trip you to work a full shift on Saturdays. Pay is subpar, and below average for the industry, cost of living in the local area, and work expectations. Good luck reaching the highest levels of your pay scale too, as its mathematically impossible to achieve. It was designed that way by the way... Parking is atrocious. Although you can download an app to get a bicycle to pedal to your area. Training rarely reflects on floor production.

Bro culture (while not everywhere) is certainly bred within the company, which can be very toxic. HR really has no power over employees especially if you're an intern or have not been employed as a full timer for years. As a female, I would sometimes get unprofessional attention from male techs which was generally uncomfortable. Some managers are great, but some just aren't a good fit for the role, and if you get stuck with the latter, you're screwed as an intern. Some managing/mentoring individuals can either be the most amazing people you've ever met, OR very type A or can be rude which can really erode an association with the team especially amongst interns (unfortunately HR cares to do nothing about this common issue) The company has also on numerous occasions punished people for speaking out as whistleblowers, which this past summer got multiple people fired and the issues they wrote about in the open letter were never addressed to employees. There is also a huge burn out culture here. This reminds you that you are expendable. Hundreds of very smart engineers could easily take over your role once the life is sucked out of you after working 12-14 hour days for months on end to meet ridiculously tight ("spicy") deadlines that with better upper management might potentially be slightly mitigated.
