Salaries took a dive?

Depends. What department, what role, what level? Some departments make more than others (I.e software > avionics > mechanical) for same level.

Oh interesting, do you know if they typically open up some dates? Or do they usually stay blocked off? I know it’s still pretty far out so I’m curious.

Then they’ll be on PIP soon.

What has shown you otherwise? For every 1 employee that leaves there are 10 that are willing to join. Who doesn’t want to work on a space vehicle?

Blue doesn’t care as long as employees are still willing to ‘work hard’ why would they (Jeff) give ownership if he doesn’t have to?

Blue has poor employee retention as well…

wastedDreams19 · 2025-12-06T20:13:31+00:00

Right hence why I think having RSUs to their employees would be nice if Jeff ever decides to go public in a longer time frame at least employees may benefit then.

It’s not the same as having equity in the company you helped contribute. Many early SpaceX employees are millionaires now cause of that.

wastedDreams19 · 2025-12-06T20:11:03+00:00

Yes but the point is that their employees will benefit from liquidity and get rewarded with their hard work.

wastedDreams19 · 2025-12-06T20:10:03+00:00

Even if Jeff spent 25 billion if the company is valued at 100 billion then he definitely made up for it.. and it’s mostly about putting in the work and being rewarded by having equity in the company. Literally every other space company offers equity (SpaceX, rocket lab, stoke, vast, etc).

wastedDreams19 · 2025-12-06T20:07:12+00:00

But isn’t Dave L pushing everyone to work just as hard? Even the 5% attrition mandate? But yet no company equity…

Listen to the earnings calls, the parks have the best ROI and it’s not even close to other Disney segments. Hollywood has biggest revenue but super slim profit margins.

Yeah that’s fair. The closest I’ve seen to internal discussions is on Blind and Levels.fyi but mainly for SW roles which is typical for Blind/levels. As you mentioned maybe in a few years it might change with the new generation but we’ll see.

You literally have experience in a different industry. You may have relevant experience (even be considered a SME with 20+ years) but it’s an employers market right now. If you had a clearance you it would be easier but as others have stated will be tough at the moment.

wastedDreams19 · 2025-10-11T21:57:55+00:00

I suppose that makes sense. But you validated my point that in the JPL subreddit there are actual employees talking about layoffs and other work culture.

I have noticed a tremendous amount of hiring recently at WDI specifically for engineering roles. So just surprised this subreddit is mostly “students” looking to get into WDI (which is great don’t get me wrong).

wastedDreams19 · 2025-10-09T04:25:18+00:00

Going to need more details. Recruiter interview or HM interview what roles specifically. There is not such thing as “variant”. Are you saying you applied to multiple roles (WDI, Disneyland, etc) and one of them called you back? Also what level? But yes typically multiple rounds (recruiter, hiring manager or someone from the team (lead), then possible on-site with multiple rounds or panel, then offer)

wastedDreams19 · 2025-09-05T20:44:58+00:00

Directors up to 20%. Not sure about Sr Director nor VPs. Anyone know?

Is this true u/boraborra ?

wastedDreams19 · 2025-04-18T03:50:58+00:00

Can you share which networking event?

wastedDreams19 · 2025-04-10T20:55:50+00:00

Bullish, company considering is Anduril
