I don't really blame anyone for leaving one of Elon Musk's portfolio of companies. Reviews of Muskian company culture on sites like Reddit and Glassdoor make it seem like a very poor work-life balance.
You must be over-enthusiastic about the product and willing to work brutal overtime hours for little more than a market rate engineering salary. Hard pass.

These environments can produce a lot faster, but they require a steady stream of new hires to replace all of the departures. Most hires know what they’re getting into. Spending a few years at a Musk company is a career boost, and they know it. Once you’ve had the resume boost it’s easy to pivot into another company as “the person who worked with Elon” where you can get paid more and work less.
