      Great place to work

      Structures engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High pace environment, with laser focus on development. The company moves as a one-soldier army and the vision of what we are trying to do is clearly communicated and shared. If you are looking for a place where your efforts are not wasted but are directly connected to the company end goal you found the place for you.

      Cons

      Work environment is intense: there is not much room for inefficiencies and low productivity. Much will be required of you: not a 9-5 job.

      A great place to work with highly motivated people.

      Avionics engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      SpaceX has created a work environment that fosters engineering freedom with little bureaucracy. As a result everyone works together on projects that interests them and are encouraged to see things through to completion.

      Cons

      Combining the large number of new projects with both a limited workforce and supporting existing designs through production, the amount of work expected from an individual can sometimes be overwhelming. That being said no one is working those long hours alone and on any given hour of any given day there will be people there.

      Massive responsibility, fast pace, and making a huge difference

      Structures engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Making a big difference in a high profile project that is awesome. Even interns make decisions that have an effect on the rockets. You are a rocket scientist. The pay is standard and you get some stock or options.

      Cons

      It can be nerve wracking to have that much responsibility. People complain about long hours, but that's more of a function of the individual and how they manage their time.
