If you can survive here, you can survive anywhere. Made me a millionaire through stock appreciation over the years.
Absolute mayhem, at least in the Starship org. Ridiculous deadlines and designs seem half-assed to meet them. Expect to take on 2-3 people’s workload. Your sanity will be tested, but you will be rewarded if you can last 4-5 years and vest.
I am expecting an offer from SpaceX for Senior Software Engineer for LA office. I am looking at rental accommodations starting Jan as rents are at lowest and will start climbing going in summer 2021. Where do majority SpaceX LA office employees usually live pre-pandemic ?
Hows the WLB really? 50 hours a week and 10 hour shifts is pretty crazy. I'm getting an offer and I'm trying to understand if it's worth killing myself for (currently working 35 hours a week) #spacex #starlink
SpaceX employees, please help me! I have an offer from Starlink, how is the tram? Is it crazy stressful? How is the work culture? Will other engineers teach me and help me? How many hours a day I would be working? Will I be working weekends? Hardware Engineer II TC: 155K Los Angeles Yoe: master +...Read more
Curious to know how is/was your experience working at SoaceX. Are day to day activities too challenging, sense of accomplishment, work life balance, etc. And what’re the most common engineering skills, education backgroud does a SpaceX engineer posses?
Every one knows Elon Musk is an a$$-hole of an employer, he treats his employees really bad. An example is what he did with Twitter /X. I have heard similar stories about Tesla and SpaceX. A common person may mesmerized by Tesla , but I wonder if his employees also buy Tesla. Open to correct my per...Read more
Would appreciate any insights on how promotion works (procedure, criteria, how often) at Tesla, SpaceX, aka Elon companies #twitter #tesla #spacex
What type of stock do SpaceX employees typically receive at hiring time? Is it privately owned stock or stock options? What's the typical vesting cycle? Also, is the ownership of the vested stock permanent or still being conditioned to being an employee at SpaceX? (i.e. if you leave or laid off doe...Read more
Assuming you don’t want to work at these companies forever, what’s next? I’d say these are 2 of the most prestigious companies in the realm of aerospace. Do alum of these companies typically jump around the newspace startups (astra, VO, relativity)? I never want to go back to defense but will want m...Read more
For those of you who were part of the high turnover at SpaceX, why did you leave the company?
Hey guys - if you have any time with Papa Elon himself over the next few days - do you think it would be cool if you could ask him to put #GME or the GameStop logo on his next rocket that he launches into space? This would get the whole fucking world fired up!??

Despite Elon’s results, is Elon a mean/ruthless manager? What is your WLB like, and is it worth the comp you’re getting? Do you find people who work for Elon companies aren’t motivated by comp, and are more motivated by the company mission? Do other execs and middle managers counteract his eccentr...Read more
