Maybe if you're applying to work for Cathie Wood. I'd consider Tesla a yellow flag if you started there the last few years.
I don't think it's really considered that strong of a place for engineers and they don't pay as well and work people harder so I assume these people couldn't get in to better companies. not so much for SpaceX where there's less choice in that sector.
"I assume these people couldn't get in to better companies". That's a pretty ignorant statement as Space X and Tesla are harder to get into than Harvard.
Well yeah, if you have an axe to grind and don't like Musk, then for you it's a red flag, but not for most people. Most people don't hate him enough to discriminate against a candidate for working there.
There are no more desirable companies than Space X because literally no other company is doing anything remotely like what they are. You have Boeing which is a disaster and Nasa which also isn't close.
As of 2022 Space X and Tesla were the #1 and #2 most desired companies to work for.
