SpaceX Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The stock is life changing. The benefits are excellent, you can purchase fantastic insurance for a very inexpensive cost.

Free healthcare and great stock plan

Review from Engineering Dept

We typcally get yearly stock bonuses

Definitely the Stocks! Hands-down, the stocks are the best part of my compensation package

Review from Product Dept

Great big package. Really good

High pay although work life balance is safrificed

They pay very fairly and competitively

All bases covered. Bonus are very good and better than don't other industries.

I get plenty of vacation time

Review from Engineering Dept

The paid vacation and understanding the work/life balance.

Stock options and a stock purchase program

Just happy they have benefits at all

Review from Engineering Dept

Money, bonus, automatically, money, money

SpaceX stock is better than gold. Or will be anyway

The stocks are great and also onsite medical and dental is amazing

Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye hi

The stocks and the stocks

The variety of this package

Its beats the S&P 500

i get stock so i get big money

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

We work very hard for less than cost of living raises

I don't like it but I want to learn how to work

More base pay and employee benefits would go a long way in making employees content with their compensation.

Can make more money elsewhere

Review from Engineering Dept

low pay compared to the other company I worked

its a good one so far

I FEEL UNDERVALUED BECAUSE WHAT WE DISCUSS WITH LEADERSHIP DOES NOT GET ANY ATTENTION, AND THINGS REMAIN THE SAME. I WOULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY COMPENSATION IF I WAS GETTING PAID CORRECTLY. PER INDUSTRY STANDARD WE ARE MAKING ROUGHLY $5-$10 LESS THAN THE LOWEST END OF AEROSPACE EMPLOYEES.

I could probably be paid about 50% more at a previous employer.

Review from Engineering Dept

being compensated 10 hours for sick days or vacation days since all work days are at least 10 hour days

Review from Operations Dept

Cost of living between Texas and California, as well as Florida are radically different. Percentages should be allotted to compensate for steep cost of living in California. I would feel better if they paid industry standard wages, and then if you want over time too, pay accordingly.

I have been discriminated against for not graduating from an Ivy League school, but a state school. Was told even tho I’m worth more spacex won’t pay me more because our director dosent like my college.

Review from Engineering Dept

Christmas bonuses better raise percentage

Review from Product Dept

Average wage has increased, but mine has not in comparison. New hires make roughly 8k more per year than I do

Review from Operations Dept

If you are buddy buddy with your manager then you get hooked up.
