2016 Summer Texas Intern Review

Pros

Great place to get some amazing experience. If you like things fast pace, never working on the same thing for too long, responsibility for amazing projects, and just a great over all experience, Spacex is the best internship you could have! People here want to be here and it makes a difference about the quality of work and peer interactions. I have had other internships, but this is by far the most rewarding internship you could possibly have! The amount of things you learn that are not just technical, communication wise are extremely valuable for any job application.

Cons

Hourly.... some might see this as good... in some ways it is cause we get paid a little more; however it is also hard to get a lot of your work done on time when you are restricted by so few hours a week because we are hourly. An internship is a time for you to learn and prove yourself. One shouldn't complain about working too much as an intern in my opinion.

Pros

SpaceX puts interns in a position of having lots of responsibilities. They treat their interns like new hires, give them meaningful work, and push them to become better engineers. They are pushing the boundaries of engineering. They are never complacent with where they are. They are always improving things. You definitely won't be bored working here.

Cons

Sometimes there is more work to go around than there are employees. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because you don't get bored. It can lead to some stressful situations, but not anything unmanageable. Keeping the machine lean is a double edged sword, but I think it does more good than bad (for example limiting the amount of bureaucracy you have to go through, communication isn't as hard in a smaller company)
