working somewhere, briefly. not too much of a red flag

working somewhere a while and thriving in that environment? But I get it, ethics can easily fly out the window when you choose, especially when there's alot of money in play to bribe your feelings.

If you're impying recruiters would see someone thriving in Twitter under Elon as a bad thing, you're either deeply deluded and have no idea how recruitment works, projecting your own subjective feelings onto the whole industry, or a paid shill hired to badmouth Elon on the internet.

Let me clarify my original comment. It's not just about the company name on your résumé. It's about what your stint there says about you. If I sensed that a candidate saw the environment that Elon is creating at Twitter as a positive thing? Huge red flag. And if someone joined after seeing how Elon wants to run things, I'm gonna assume they're into it. I don't want that productivity-destroying toxicity anywhere near me or my team.

With regard to how recruitment works, I've never been on a team where a recruiter got final say over whether someone is hired. As an engineer, I've had a lot of say in that decision many times. As for whether those feelings are projected, well… just look at which way the sentiment is going in this thread. Would you really want to take that gamble?

I'll work wherever I want, thank you for your input. If you consider a person "toxic" for suceeding in whatever environment you dislike personally, perhaps it is you who is toxic.

If you want to work for Elon, go for it! I’m not trying to dissuade you. But don’t be surprised when people infer from that what type of work environment you value.
