Pros

Genuinely a lot of brilliant and passionate people. Cool product, factory, and mission.

Cons

Extreme toxicity has entered the company. HR trainings and what they preach don’t align with what actually happens or is followed by upper leadership. It’s high stakes environment so they will do whatever it takes to get to first launch and burn as many people as needed to get there. Many great long time employees have left for competitors, in comes the SpaceX culture and not necessarily the good kind. Don’t expect clear roles and responsibilities and don’t be surprised if “teammates” try to throw you under the bus

Pros

Amazing benefits & on-site amenities. Generous PTO, Sick and holiday schedule. Great place to learn and get foot in the door of aerospace. Great hub for young talent industry wide you are given a lot of autonomy of your work day.

Cons

Toxic leadership & senior management. Promotions and raises are not determined by merit, the company allows nepotism which is rampant in every aspect of the company. Would much rather turn a blind eye than address long term issues with a toxic work environment. The minute you stop being a yes man and start challenging the status quo in the name of efficiency, you are targeted by leadership and subsequently pushed out one way or another. You'll be fine if you are personal friends of management.
