Have an interview for the starlink program coming up. Whats the enviornment like working there? Avionics Hardware Role
Worth pushing on with the process just to do the onsite and see what it's like. Starlink leadership now has a lot of Elon loyalists/koolaid drinkers but meet the team and find out. Disclaimer I don't work in that dept
How long have you been at spacex?
More than a couple years
Run.
why
Run
why
Brutal, doesn’t pay that well. Imo I wouldn’t do it if you have a family. If the offer is low then I wouldn’t go for it.
Run
because you didn't get a chance to work on Starlink?
why run?
Run. The manager they sent up from Hawthorne to whip the Seattle office to work faster and cheaper is horrendously abusive, but has the same mentality as Elon so that says alot.
I confirm
I confirm too. And that also rubs on to the many technically incompetent managers who are still wannabe-Elons. So you can imagine the state of the whole thing.
If its like iridium, Globalstar, and Google Loon, it will fail. the big problem with these systems is they cannot send data into a building, the link budget just doesn't allow it. Will each satellite have a 1MW nuclear reactor? Then I might change my mind ...
You need a dish on the roof of the building the size of a large pizza box, so we're told...like dish Network internet
Yeah that's a fail. Fixed link wireless broadband has all the disadvantages of DirectPC and no disruption in the market. However I bet it will be easy to wipe out DirecTV.
Nothing wrong with taking the interview and asking questions around work environment and given that you have family making sure that they respect that.
You can also straight up tell them that the person sent to Seattle from Hawthorne you heard is not a good manager. See how the interviewer reacts or try to get details of their daily life.
It’s gonna go kaput sooon...
