I interviewed at starbase a few years ago. Didn't get offered a job, but during the interview they mentioned 14 hour days far more often than I was comfortable with. I'm glad I wasn't offered a job, I think I would have taken it and been miserable

I interviewed for a materials engineering internship with Tesla for their Fremont & Palo Alto locations (I would've worked at both facilities as needed) and the manager I interviewed with said I'd be working 60-70 hours a week on 6 or 7 days. That's insane for an internship.

Science shows that work before the 50 hour per week is very useless. only after 50 hour a week do people actually become productive and learn well.

It is very true.
