Cons
You're treated like a cockroach here. It's an organization wide problem to simply ignore emails. Schedule dictates worker safety. Don't take my word for it, check out their safety record. Sexual Harassment is almost a normal occurrence, there were company wide emails about it. People are legitimately miserable at this facility Engineers abuse technicians Work life balance.. whats that? (some supervisors come into work at 3 am and leave around 9pm. (heads up, this will be you. Working a 16 hour day due to incompetent management is not uncommon here) There is no such thing as time away from Spacex- particularly for salaried employees This is a politically run organization- meaning office politics will dictate. HIGH employee turn over- average career here is two years. When in doubt- blame the technician. Engineers treat techs as if their second rate trash Organization is too reliant on metrics. Stay away from the following departments: Composites /PAF ( management has no idea what their doing- force long hours on employees because of this. Witnessed ridiculous schedules and unsafe employee behaviors to meet them. Many of their processes are unclear and if you make a mistake- they love to point the finger. Unprofessional conduct from employees and management. Electro-mechanical ( Transducers. Transducers current management ignores vacation requests as well as employee issues and allows verbal abuse ( yelling , screaming) from engineers to techs. The current lead for this department will sit at the computer all day and ignore employees who are in need of training and assistance. The lead tech is a micromanager Solar- Terrible management. Employees are miserable and it reflects in the way they treat each other. This organization will welcome a fresh employee with open arms, then burn and spit them right out again while claiming credit for their ideas.
