      Pros

      The people who work here are the best collection of smart, hardworking, inspired, and fun people I have ever met. I have worked at SpaceX for over 10 years and continue to be excited to come into work everyday.

      Cons

      Like many jobs there are ups and downs, except at SpaceX the ups are WAY UP and the downs...well those can be WAY DOWN too. To work here and be successful you must have a high level of emotional and mental toughness.

      Be Proud of Your Job

      Senior structures engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Everyone is extremely motivated. We are here to accomplish great things. -We are great and ensuring there is no unnecessary red tape. If you want to release a part or make a change, you can easily do it within a few hours if it is simple. Nothing takes months. The systems are set up to have proper checks and reviews instantaneously. -You immediately get a huge amount of ownership. Every launch is an incredible experience to see all of your work and all of everyone's work coming together in one spectacular event. -Benefits are great -You have control over how much responsibility you are given

      Cons

      -Since you are given lots of ownership and responsibility, if you are slow and competitive, it might be more like 10 hours per day instead of 8 at times. However; this is entirely in your control! If you want to work only 8 hours, this is perfectly fine and workload will be adjusted. It is also easy to get more ownership and responsibility if that is desired.

      Incredibly inspiring and motivating

      Development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The people you work with are most likely smarter than you, so you in turn absorb those traits. - You are given a lot of responsibility right off the bat depending on your area of expertise. - The feeling you get when you have contributed to a goal that is larger than anything in this world is amazing. - Management hierarchy is very flat which enables fluid conversation and rapid response to questions or concerns. This also encourages a very friendly culture among all groups.

      Cons

      - Work-Life balance is commonly stated as an issue here, but in all honesty, it's up to the individual to make this decision, not the company. If you work smarter, you are able to balance this VERY well while working at SpaceX.
