Vantaggi

- We’re going to Mars - Co-workers all share passion to provide economical access to space for all, pushing to make humanity a multi-planetary species - Inspiring and challenging place to work, pushes you to be your best - Positions carry much responsibility, get to work directly with hardware and shape the product - Health coverage, onsite medical care, gym membership - Free coffee and frozen yogurt, reduced price meals

Svantaggi

- Salary not competitive for similar jobs in the area. Company equity offered but any new or recent hires are at direct disadvantage because equity doesn’t cover lost value of salary difference. Also be aware no 401k matching. - Work-life balance is less than ideal. Expectation is minimum 50 hour work week, tends to be more. OK for most because many employees don’t have families. - Start-up mentality continues despite being roughly 5,000 people, still set up to favor longer term employees through equity, promotions, parking near campus, etc. - If you are recent or new employee, you may have already missed the boat of opportunity for career growth or equity gain.

Vantaggi

* **Unmatched Mission & Impact:** You are literally working on rockets and spacecraft. The cool factor is 10/10. * **Brilliant Coworkers:** You will be surrounded by some of the smartest, most driven engineers in the world. * **Insane Career Growth:** SpaceX on your resume is a golden ticket. You will learn more here in 3 months than in 3 years at a normal company. * **Hands-on Experience:** They actually trust interns with real, critical hardware. No boring coffee-fetching tasks.

Svantaggi

**Cons:** * **Zero Work-Life Balance:** 70-80 hours a week is the norm, not the exception. Say goodbye to your social life and sleep. * **Extreme Burnout:** The "hustle culture" is toxic. You are expected to treat the company as your entire life. * **Mediocre Pay:** The hourly pay is average, especially when you factor in the insane hours and the high cost of living in LA/Hawthorne. * **Chaotic Management:** Decisions can change overnight based on whatever Elon Musk tweets or feels like doing that morning.
