Pros
Decent benefits, barista and FroYo. Employees that work hard and proud of their work.
Cons
A CEO with way too many lofty ideas and depends on others to figure it out. Projects ramp fast and burn out quickly. Poor to no planning leads to confusion and disgruntled workers.

Pros
- SpaceX is very good about perks that Elon enjoys. Free coffee, frozen yogurt, cheap food, etc. - Stock options for those of us that started years ago is very nice. For new employees, I wish you the best. - Culture and employees are amazing. You will make lifelong contacts. - The product and company stays innovative. You will grow your career quicker than most places. - It is always interesting. Never a dull...
Show MoreCons
- The management landscape is a minefield. - Long hours with minimal compensation. Great for a new college graduate, terrible for an established career. - No empathy. Unrealistic schedules driven by insane expectations leading to high turnover and lack of emotion.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at SpaceX
Pros
Employee benefits are great. There are numerous facilities, but each one is set up to take care of their employees (food, drinks, snacks). Stock options are a great bonus.
Cons
Totally overworked. The company wants to save money, so rather than hire more people, they overwork the ones they have. Management seems oblivious to employees' concerns- very hands-off. A lot of last-minute decisions made daily that affect many other operations. thanks
Advice to Management
Be more in-touch with the employees. Listen to their concerns and do what you can to help. Ignorance is not always bliss.
