Pros

Heavy systems expertise Competency with running datacenters Nicest co-workers ever

Cons

Elon is generally incompetent for multiple reasons - Thinks he's an engineer when he's clearly not - Thinks engaging with teenagers on Twitter is product market research - Think people will worship him blindly for his cult of personality

Pros

now - nothing. You'd have to be insane to go work there now.

Cons

Recently every single person on my team who was not a white male was laid off, even people who were outperforming were laid off in favour of lower performers who were male and white. - Ridiculous expectations - no communication from management - being degraded everyday - no work life balance - can get fired for no reason at any time - your boss hates you for no reason
