      Pushing the Envelope

      Design engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      First of all Elon Musk kicks ass and I am honored to work for him! Most people dream of a job like this! Don't get me wrong the job is a lot of hard work and you have a lot more responsibility than you do almost any other company. That is because we build and manufacture 90% of the rocket in house! I would recommend this job to anyone who is driven and wants to achieve the unachievable. Reusability, bringing human spaceflight back to USA, and trips Mars!

      Cons

      Long hours can get to you at times but the reward is 100% worth it!

      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.

      Awesome place and coworker, groundbreaking development in aerospace.

      Structures engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      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!
