"I worked at SpaceX for over 6 years and enjoyed the challenge set forth by Elon. In order to excel, you have to commit. The work pace will be nothing like you have ever experienced; you must be adaptable and willing to sacrifice. The rewards are there, but you have to make a name for yourself or you will be lost in a sea of talent. Everyone shares the passion for what they do, and fools are not suffered lightly. Bring your A game, because Elon demands it."
"Working at space x was definitly mind blowing at the start. They offer a lot of cool extras from food to coffee which was awesome. When it comes to work load it was different. You find yourself staying later that originally assigned and that normally wouldnt be an issue if it wasnt for the fact that they do it last minute. The straight up no concern for employees by management is saddening. They squeeze the life out of you until its too late basically."
"I have worked at Spacex for 2 years. It is a good place to work but needs some work."
"Pro: Lots of work but limited room for expansion Cons: Limited work/life balance"
"IIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"
"A deeply devoted company with a drive for constant improvement. This company is an excellent place for those with endless time they want to solely devote to their work. In this, however, stress and constant struggle to prove yourself become somewhat of a way of life for many."
"I have work at SpaceX for 4 years now. I quickly moved up but I feel as if I have reached a ceiling."
"Great learning experience, they were not ready for me."
"I worked for SpaceX for one and a half years. I love the work I do there and what impact the work has done for the world."
"The pay at SpaceX sucks. The moral is always low because management throughout the company all the way to the top does not value employees. They want to be a Google-like campus, but it will never happen here. Most below managemant-level get paid between 18.00 - 21.00 an hour. Turnover is high due to this reason."
"Long hours, low pay. Lots of less than qualified people in charge. Good benefits."
"Long hours imposed for the engineer in a creative field and not much support. Sr. management has had 3 members replaced in one year."
"Wonderful place to work."
