"I researched SpaceX before meeting you today. I like your branding, and your online presence is strong. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to have a confirmation email sent to all online job applicants. I found the site a bit difficult to navigate and was not sure that my initial application went through successfully. Luckily, your HR department was amazing, and they called me just a few days later for a pre-screen interview."

"The biggest complaint that I have heard from any SpaceX employees (former or current) is the demanding workload. I think that by relieving some of that workload, employees will have more time for personal lives, families, and friends, which will overall provide a better quality of life for SpaceX employees."
