      What is working from home like at SpaceX?

      SpaceX reviews

      Working at SpaceX

      Production associate
      Current employee
      Bastrop, TX
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Working at SpaceX is great the hours are great so you can have a good balance of work and home life and the people I work with are amazing we really excel as a team

      Cons

      The only con I would say is there needs to be better communication in order to have a better sense of how I’m doing as an employee or how I can improve

      A Place to Achieve Things

      Network operations engineer
      Former employee
      Redmond, WA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      What you work on improves the world. Because you're tasked with doing something that hasn't been done before, you're constantly bumping into problems that you're the first human or group of humans to encounter. You get to work with the world's most talented people. Despite (or perhaps because of) the extremely high expectations everyone operates under, conflict is almost entirely related to technical issues. Very little interpersonal drama. People are understanding if you hit your limit because they can relate, and there's a strong culture of comradery. To a person, everyone is competent and dependable. You'll essentially never find yourself avoiding or going around a colleague because you anticipate they'll be unresponsive. You're constantly learning new technical skills, but you also learn a lot about yourself at the same time. Very little bureaucratic red tape, if you've got an area you can contribute, management will not get in your way of pursuing it. Advancement is quick if you're talented and driven. The company is managing scaling very well, and I'm a firm believer that it's most impressive accomplishments have yet to occur. My contributions here are one of the things I'm most proud of in my life, which is a feeling you won't get from most jobs.

      Cons

      Very demanding and intense. A place where you need to be very deliberate about what you want out of your work/life balance. Unless you're superhuman, burnout is inevitable. You need to be able to consciously monitor your own burnout. The constant threat of an embarrassing Elon tweet/story (I never saw any of these attitudes trickle down to my department, and I would not have tolerated them on my team. I firmly believe my experience would hold across the organization as a whole). Remote and work from home policies are unnecessarily strict. Minor thing, but the company can be weirdly cheap about little things sometimes.

      Pros

      Great mission, people, and very inspiring.

      Cons

      Low compensation for non-software engineers compared to tech companies. No partial WFH policy

      SpaceX (Starlink) review

      Customer support associate ii
      Former employee
      Hawthorne, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits and perks. Opportunities for promotion and to elevate your career. Good pay with all of the automatic overtime.

      Cons

      They changed from four 10 hour shifts to four 12 hour shifts. No Hybrid or WFH option. Elon puts a lot of pressure of his leadership and they’re all stressed.

      overall pretty solid place to work

      Integration engineer
      Current employee
      McGregor, TX
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      you get insane autonomy to go take on a project and the result is that you put something in space. equity compensation is rather competitive

      Cons

      long hours, changing priorities, and inflexible workplace requirements (hard to work from home, etc.)
