Pros

The only pro will was my coworkers

Cons

Politics are the name of the game at Tesla. They've stopped giving employees stock and raises. Employee reviews, if given honestly by a decent supervisor, are rewarded with IOU's. Such a joke of a "luxury car" company. If people knew the corners that were cut to produce these vehicles, there'd be none on the road.

Pros

While it had many flaws it was immensely exciting place to work at. All hands were on deck trying to electrify the planet. Most driven group I have seen. Low amount of individuals who were not competent in the past.

Cons

Currently the Fremont plant is swarmed with a new set of people who have ascended into management with very little experience and competence resulting in the same mistakes being repeated again. It is no more an enclave of the smartest and driven but more for those who like to play the game well. Moreover HR does not address issues that are in violation intertwined with senior management which is unfortunately recipe for long term liability.
