Career Advice From Top Executives - Business Insider

"I actually interview everyone at SpaceX personally. And we're a 500-person company, so that's a lot of interviews.

"What do I look for? It depends on the task. You know, it's different, and I'm not necessarily looking for someone who has brilliant analytical ability if their job is going to be assembling hardware. But I think, generally, I look for a positive attitude and are they easy to work with, are people gonna like working with them? It's very important to like the people you work with, otherwise life [and] your job is gonna be quite miserable.

"And, in fact, we have a a strict 'no-assholes policy' at SpaceX. And we fire people if they are. I mean, we give them a little bit of warning. But if they continue to be an asshole, then they're fired."

From a 2008 interview with On Innovation.
