They're in a death spiral, and they will take your sanity down the same path
The pay is market rate, give or take?
This place embodies toxic positivity. If you’re a critical thinker who questions things and likes to dig deep, you will have that beat out of you.
Don’t bother being an engineer; that isn’t valued; it’s punished. Leadership all the way up the chain expects zero friction. If you question someone or express a negative outlook, you will be punished.
They will gaslight you into thinking everything is great and you’re the problem, even though they have not achieved a single goal they’ve set out to do.
Let people be themselves.
Embrace negative feedback because listening to the positive feedback isn’t working.
Give organizations clear ownership and stop allowing triplicate efforts.
Try hiring a female or two in your software organization; the cult of Tesla bro-fest is toxic.
And to the board of directors, get rid of RJ. He’s a celebrity CEO who is completely inept. His only achievement is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern
Very positive, quick responses. Took a few weeks. Overall, a positive process, but they do interview relatively late in the cycle. Still good and positive experiences. One interview call. Panel interview with directors/managers
Mechanical Engineer
A fairly quick, 3-round process. Recruiting was very helpful and polite. A mix of technical and behavioral questions were asked. I left feeling like I had a good idea of what the job would be like, as it is a rotational program for new grads.
