One employee said “I really was happy to work here but I'm totally disappointed in the culture, horrible management and lack of direction. So many people are leaving. I understand why.”

Stupid office bureaucrats pushing around talented engineers... never works.

It worked in the Manhattan Project. :^)

I got a bit of a verbal check in a FB group, by an engineer who worked at BO (amusing initials, so I had to set it up), and I suspect they’ve got excellent talent there, and probably have the drive to excel one often sees in new hires, particularly among engineers. But when the company appears to be doing nothing with the results, it is bound to lead to a lot of egress.

By contrast, and as noted in one of those vids posted above, Musk is more demanding, and plenty of engineers (etcetera) who are not quite into it as much as the boss is, have left both Tesla and SpaceX for a less demanding workplace.
