SpaceX reviews

Poor communication company wide I understand that the pace we are working at is ridiculous but rework kills us. The company is very lax when it comes to punishment for employees which can bite you in the butt in the end.

Pay is competetive but definitely on the lower end of industry standards. Long hours A large amount of managers got promoted because they were good at what they did before, not because they are good managers, which ends up created a less effective management team. The entire team has a lower level of experience than most engineering based companies, which allows for a lot of simple errors and trying to reinvent the wheel in areas which already have tried and true methods. At this point career advancement is very slow since there can only be so many "Leads" and they don't have lower sub- ratings. On the same note, it is a start-up mindset company which allows excellent personnel with lower levels of experience advance faster than other companies which is the primary reason the company has been successful thus far.
