Pros

I get so excited as I drive into work. Coming off the 105 at Crenshaw, I see one of our flight-proven rockets standing proudly outside SpaceX headquarters, alongside the Tesla design studio. It seems like we break a world record every month, and I couldn't be more proud of the company or the role I play. Material planning is a high-profile, cross functional position that plays an integral role in ensuring we meet our launch schedule - which means that we have an open slate to do whatever is necessary to meet that launch schedule. From working with executives and helping a production engineer improve material flow, to developing strategic supply chains, make/buy decisions, managing inventory and WIP levels, there is so much to do, and everything we do directly impacts making SpaceX the leading rocket launcher in the world. If you're interested in a position that gives you free reign to innovate and improve where you see the greatest need, with minimal bureaucracy, this position is for you!

Cons

Everyone comes from different companies and backgrounds - I found the first three months very difficult to figure what is going on and how to communicate.

Pros

Work with some of the brightest people you'll ever meet. Less red tape leads to more ownership and responsibility among employees. Cheap, high quality food all day, free coffee and fro-yo every day. Great benefits all around.

Cons

Long hours, but they do fly by.
