Vantaggi

Get to work on the F9 Rocket

Svantaggi

Literally, everything else. Mgmt is a terrible. You’re nothing but a body and a face to work as little hours as they deem necessary. Within 6 months it went from no more than 50 hours per week to 40, then back to 50, then mandatory 60. No consistency whatsoever. They will lie to your face with smile. They promise certain things in the initial interview in which they DO NOT follow through on. Engineering planning is abhorrent. You'd think after doing this for almost 20 years, they'd have it down by now, but no. They'll hire engineers right out of college with little to no experience just so they don't have to pay for quality. Not saying that there aren’t good engineers there, they’re just so few of them. Working on the boosters is one of the coolest jobs to have, but having to put up with everything else that comes with it, IS NOT WORTH IT. The most senior techs are searching for other jobs as I'm writing this. That's how bad it is.

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.
