Svantaggi
The beloved leader is surrounded by a lead team of lackeys. The lead team got their minimal experience by hiring and firing experienced staff then calling themselves chief engineers. New engineers come in and face a roulette wheel-type scenario - try to complete tasks and hold onto possible stock options or get a miscalculated assignment from management and go down with their project so that the lead tem can tell the leader they fired the responsible party. Or if they dont like you they will give you a task way outside your proficiency to cut your tenure short. Miss-use of staff experience and bungled assignment length estimates mean that engineers are lucky to see eight months. Graduates come in by the droves as they all believe they wont come up short on this roulette wheel and experienced staff who wonder at any 30 year old calling themselves the chief engineer are sure not to last long. After each flight the staff get numbered patches. From this you can work out the 15/20% staff turn over between flights. Yeah its that bad. I know that they dont want waste but it seems more systematic for the core team to abuse assets while securing government funding - obviously smells of some .com labor pyramid scheme. SPACEX itself rather than having innovated have cherry picked all the NASA studies that NASA didnt have the funds to exploit themselves and are calling themselves revolutionary. Smart graduates are to advised to either start their own business or go to real aerospace companies that try to get the best out of their employees. Experienced aerospace professionals should be advised that your thoroughness will bring ire from management and you wont last long. Gives a bad name to the word space.
