SpaceX & Tesla Top List Of Meaningful Tech Company Jobs

Elon Musks companies Tesla Motors and SpaceX are at the top of the list when it comes to the (self-reported) meaningfulness of the work done by employees as well as being at the top of the list when it comes to stressful work environments, and low early career compensation according to a new report from PayScale.
The reference to low early career compensation (a reference to the median income for employees with no more than 5 years experience) is of course quite subjective despite being well below the figures for Facebook or LinkedIn, the money on offer from Tesla and SpaceX is certainly not bad money.

The San Francisco Chronicle provides more:
A strong urge to make the world a better place drives many employees, even when theyre working in high-stress and relatively low-paying jobs, according to a report released Wednesday by the company PayScale, which aggregates pay and benefits packages for millions of workers.

SpaceX and Tesla, both headed by Elon Musk, did the best job fostering a sense of meaning for their employees. While early-career staff were among the lowest paid and most stressed in the study, between 89 and 92 percent said that they feel their work is making the world a better place. That compares with an average of 57 percent of workers who feel that way at the other firms surveyed.
