      Exciting and challenging place to work

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast pace, get it done attitude, work is never the same for too long which keeps things interesting. Decent amount of time off and flexible hours. Short management chain means VPs are not far removed from day to day issues. Cafeteria is subsidized. Healthcare benefits are very good.

      Cons

      The hours can get to be very long, but the work comes and goes. Most weeks are about 50-60 hrs. I think the compensation could be better.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      No other place is developing grasshopper, Falcon Heavy, capsules, engines and manufacturing everything under the same roof. Lot's of responsibilities, small efficient multidisciplinary teams and free coffee bar with frozen yogurts. Amazing kitchen.

      Cons

      You have to be flexible and ready to push the boundaries otherwise this place is not for you. Long hours but rewording, look at our track record!

      Hard work, but awesome experience

      Structures engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      SpaceX allows you to take on a high amount of responsibility very early in your career, and work on some really cool projects. Everyone at the company is exceptional and it's a great experience to work with and learn from people who really know what they're doing. I sometimes think about what it would have been like to work at NASA during the 60's, leading up to the moon landing, and wish I could travel back in time to be there. But there's no need to - because this is SpaceX today, but instead of going to the moon, we're going to Mars.

      Cons

      Hours can be long, but not necessarily an issue if you're enjoying the work. The short deadlines can be stressful at times.
