Autopilot Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
One phone round and two on-site interviews.
Feedback indicated I performed very well in the interviews and they asked for references.
I sent the references to contact, but they backed out then.
It was an absolute waste of time for two on-site interviews if they weren't keen on hiring me.

- 4.0Great mission, fantastic coworkersSenior Firmware Engineer • Current EmployeePalo Alto, California, United StatesSeptember 14, 2016Pros: Smartest people I've ever worked with; almost everyone is expert level. Elon is inspirational, if a little insane. Great feeling of actually doing something useful for humanity. Management actually makes good decisions most of the time. Benefits are better than the salary.Cons: Identity crisis of not being a startup but also not a mature company. Mediocre pay, worst-case scenario for finding a decent commute or an affordable home. Depending on what area you work in, work-life balance can be off. I personally never felt pressured to work when I didn't want to; friends of mine at the company experienced this.
