True, but what if your work is the thing you'd choose to spend your time on, given the freedom to pick anything.

Other comments suggest that this is referring to a job posting from Andrew Ng's deep learning startup. If that's the case, you might have access to expertise and compute resources that you could only dream about if you were working on a side project.

That's a fair argument, but it doesn't change that the job ad is pretty bad. SpaceX has lots of people working serious overtime because of their belief in company's mission, but it doesn't routinely advertise overtime as a job perk...

It reads less like a perk, rather more as a warning filter. Hopefully the "transparency" saves both applicants and the company time.
