Elon Musk is one of the greatest visionaries of our time. The results of his work inspired many but as it turns out, they require a very great sacrifice.
It is worth mentioning that it is Elon Musk has paved the way for a revolution in online payments, I began to fashion electric, proved, that the rockets can fly back and forth, popularized the idea of high-speed transport hyperloop, and soon wants to colonize Mars. Employment in Elon Musk, undoubtedly inspiring and useful but is very heavy.
As it turns out in order to get on the robot in one of the company Elon Musk is not enough to have several higher educations, the applicant must be enthusiastic and determined to overcome any difficulties. Also, the applicant must not in their vocabulary even have neither the fact that use of the word “impossible” as it argues Elon – from the vocabulary of fools.
Since the candidate for the post in SpaceX waiting for a job interview and the decision of several problems. Ashlee Vance, which has repeatedly talked with Mask, as his close associates, recalls, which are among the priorities: writing powerful programs, Search and elimination of logical puzzles and tricky, as well as the drafting of an essay on: "Why I want to work in SpaceX".
As it turned out if the candidate is able to give good advice for the development of a project he was immediately taken to the robot. This unique, which has a price. If the boss asks to do the impossible and the employee refuses – He becomes the first in the list for dismissal. At this stage it is necessary to add that after the launch of the company's Elon Musk gave their employees time 15 months for the first rocket launch. The staff tried as best they could, but carried out at the plan, and with a delay of a few weeks.
As it turns out the employees do not work on schedule 9 to 17 Monday through Friday. Так примерно в 2007 the band Tesla Motors I worked on the Roadster car with non-standard schedule. В том году затраты Илона Маска на производство оказались слишком большие, and demanded the decline - "we will work on Saturdays and Sundays, and sleep under their desks, until you can do it ", declared loyal and understanding employees. In turn, if someone is indignant about the non-normalized schedule and work on weekends Musk said: "When go bankrupt, you have a lot of time will be for the family ".
"Elon was always an optimist. Sometimes he could cheat, sometimes persuade, important to bring to the implementation of the project. Sometimes he was very heavy graphics, sometimes shortened labor, anyway in the end, all employees were satisfied ", - says one of the employees.
"With me the following happened. Elon asked me to do a year's work for the week, I did it for half a year, and when he brought the results of their work, he threw it into the waste basket, claiming that the result is not good enough ", - SpaceX says engineer, who wished to remain anonymous.
The same employee recalls that Musk gathered all together and said: "Few of you works on the Sabbath". The fact that he did not care that the staff can be a life outside of the company, hobby, family and so on. On this occasion, he said: „Если у вас есть иные хобби кроме SpaceX, such as family or fishing then you should not continue to work here ".
As stated by another anonymous employee, на протяжении пяти лет работы в SpaceX он не видел другого поведения у Илона Маска. „Люди критикуют его за то что он заставляет сотрудников работать все больше и больше, but everything has its results. Style Mask someone perceived moody, someone motivated and vdohnovlyayuschim.Bolee vividly displayed in SpaceX, company, which is perceived as special forces, performing impossible tasks ".
Впрочем сам Маск работает по 100 часов в неделю и видимо никогда не доволен результатом в сто процентов. - "Working with him is not convenient. He is never satisfied. Pressing harder and harder, and wants, to the people around him to work with full dedication. The fact, that he is a robot, and we do not. therefore, if you want to work for Ilona, You must accept this discomfort for granted. But this discomfort is worth every drop of spilled blood and sweat ", - sums Singh.
And you would be able to work in such conditions?
