      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of training, steady work, great mission, new equipment as expected.

      Cons

      Management from the supervisor level up is completely clueless and is quick to avoid an issue and point blame elsewhere to save themselves. Feels like being back in high school with tons of gossip, team moral is all ways low as new deadlines or changing priorities happen often. HR is not there to be nurtural they are only there to protect the company and will write you up for almost nothing. Hours can be long and weekends are added without little to no notice.

      Pros

      Interesting at first, exciting environment

      Cons

      No free thinking, good-ol-boy atmosphere, All you do is follow instructions instead of contribute ideas unless you’ve been there for 3 years

      Pros

      The future of this company is wide open. The possibilities are endless and to be a part of it is super exciting. I look back on the years I have been here and I only wish I got out of the Navy earlier to start here earlier. Working here is tough, but it should be. This shouldn't be an easy job and the challenges you are faced with should be difficult. You will be expected to come in everyday and give it your all without going overboard. This is one aspect I really enjoy about working here. I am never bored and I enjoy accomplishing our goals and overcoming every challenge we are faced with. Work life balance has significantly increased. Launch days are the best day of the week.

      Cons

      Location. I understand why SpaceX was started here, but I would really love for us to pack up and move everything to a more open area where everything, including our testing facility is in one central location. There are some awesome open areas between LA and Vegas. Traffic is horrible. It makes it really tough to commute.
