Pros

Pays well compared to other companies. Stock Benefits: As part of its compensation package, Tesla has historically offered stock options or equity, which can be lucrative if the company continues to succeed.

Cons

Intense Workload: The pace at Tesla is notoriously fast, and long working hours can be expected. Employees report burnout due to the demanding nature of their roles. High Pressure: Given the ambitious goals set by the company, there can be significant pressure to meet tight deadlines and targets. Frequent Changes: The dynamic environment can lead to shifting priorities, which is disorienting or frustrating. Job Security: Lack of job security due to periodic layoffs and restructuring. Company Culture: While many appreciate the mission-driven nature of Tesla, some feel the culture can be competitive to a fault, leading to a lack of work-life balance. Safety Concerns: The safety measures are questionable. Very unsafe to work here.

Pros

A handful of really smart and kind humans.

Cons

- No life-work balance. - Too few women in leadership roles and percentage across the company is dismal. - No EQ or leadership skills amongst management. - VPs communicate poorly and don't get along with each other! - CEO is not great on stage, not a story teller, doesn't really motivate, rambles, is not engaging and is disconnected from actual humanity. - Stress induced health issues are ubiquitous. Yikes!

Toxic

Pros

Great benefits, nothing else worth noting

Cons

Company culture is toxic. The mission and vision from the top shareholders does not translate to the levels on the ground. Ignorance is celebrated, and speaking out against issues that expose failures in management get you a ticket out of the company. There is no hope for change as the management levels protect themselves and allow the culture to fall further into toxicity.
