Management needs a clue

Pros

Unlimited time off for vacation. Free food. Good health benefits. 401K is non-matching but decent. Location is ideal in SF.

Cons

Two camps of people. Old blood vs new blood. Old blood refuses to give into scalability of new blood. Considers newer employees with experience from other successful companies a threat and will not consider any recommendations. Company still has no idea how to monetize, but still continues to spend money left and right on hiring/acquiring talent with no long term plans.

Pros

* None, no more equity, bad pay, from what I hear from friends still there its a total mess.

Cons

I quit after several rounds of layoffs impacting my most valuable teammates. I hear its a total mess there now. Engineers are pulled around randomly, super disconnected, no concrete vision When Elon first took over he took the tech lead from each team, put them on a skunk works project and told them if they didnt execute the requirements by the following Monday, theyd be canned. All of them worked through the night for the next week. They all committed to a full 100+ hour week, most pulling all nighters multiple days in a row, completed all projects within the requirements, got canned anyways.

Pros

There is no Pros right now

Cons

New leadership is clueless, there is no clear direction. There is a complete chaos inside the company and if you decide to work for this guy forget about your family.
