Pluspunten
As a young engineer who formally worked for a behemoth aerospace company, I know first-hand that the level or responsibility afforded to young employees by SpaceX is unmatched. The complexity and scope of my very first project would have taken a decade to be assigned in other aerospace companies. SpaceX hires the very best and expects that new employees with become passionate about what they do which is how they are able to provide historically above-grade assignments. If you’re willing to put your head down and work, you can accomplish amazing things at this company. General list of pros: - The cafeteria is awesome and provides amazing food at heavily subsidized prices (especially dinner). -Young, energetic and passionate workforce. Pretty much everyone is extremely intelligent and motivated. -Flexible work culture (time off, internet usage, software selections, etc.) -Badass mission: Make humans an interplanetary species.
Minpunten
Monday through Friday, life = SpaceX. There’s no getting around the long hours. That being said, you won’t be alone and the days go by very quickly. Some people literally eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at work. General list of cons: -Long hours. -Somewhat chaotic design, analysis and documentation processes. -No 401k matching. -Relatively low salaries considering the hours and cost of living.
