      Fast Paced and High Responsibility

      Pros

      SpaceX gives its engineers full responsibility immediate after on boarding. If you want to make a difference and have a visible impact at a huge company, SpaceX might be a place for you.

      Cons

      High stress and long hours. Management is always pushing employees to do more and take on more scope.

      Great Place to Work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great open and cooperative environment. If you see a problem you can easily find out who can help you and fix it. Like all companies there are a lot of improvements that can be made, but unlike most companies SpaceX makes it easy for you to help work on those improvements. If you don't like your position there is plenty of room to try something new.

      Cons

      Tight deadlines lead people to get a little pushy when their deadlines get close. There is always plenty of work to do. It can feel overwhelming the sheer amount of work on your place.

      Rollarcoaster Ride

      Pros

      -the spirit and pride that the employees have is incomparable to anywhere else. -when the going gets rough and deadlines are looming, it is always amazing at the way different teams will pull together to get things accomplished. -to be able to be apart of something that is so great and awesome, is fantastic. we are making history and i'm excited to be a part of that, and actually feel like i'm personally making a difference. -100% paid insurance is fantastic. and its good coverage too. -there is also some amazing talent as well as diversity here. -

      Cons

      -pay could be better for the skill levels we are expected to have and the seemingly impossible goals we have. -ego. we have a lot of it. Of course that would be expected when you have a lot of confident, talented people working together. -work/home life could be more encouraged. we all tend to get caught up and excited about what we do. (not a bad thing), but sometimes we need someone to step back and make us take time for ourselves/families. -with high rewards comes high stress levels. This job is not for the faint of heart. if you get offended easily, don't take criticism well, or are not passionate about what you do. this is not for you.
