      Disappointment & Frustration.

      Pros

      Great Management Team, most coworkers were quality people.

      Cons

      Disappointment & frustration is all I experienced at the Tesla Gigafactory. Extremely poor working conditions, miserable & dangerous commute, poor safety standards, disgusting bathrooms, short breaks, long shifts, low pay, communication is a big mess, & HR too busy to care.

      Pros

      - on good days, the mission does feel inspiring to be a part of - strong coworkers for the most part - challenging projects to work on - get to say you work for Tesla

      Cons

      - completely unrealistic program timelines result in backbiting, cutting corners, mental and and personal stress - energy and solar program get almost no attention internally or externally, many people are leaving - demoralizing to see the solar business getting purposefully shelved. Have to let it die gracefully to avoid proving litigation re- solar acquisition wrong - morale is extremely low given all of the layoffs and voluntary turnover - you are forced to “volunteer” to support quarter end delivery and production initiative - open office location is terrible, they are cramming more and more people into small areas - stock is super volatile which creates a lot of stress

      Pros

      The mission is special to be a part of, I truly hope Tesla succeeds in what they are trying to do. The people before they got laid off were great to work with. Benefits were outstanding.

      Cons

      Outside of a great car I don’t think this company really knows what they are doing. They get everyone excited about the mission, then when times get hard they treat you like a statistic. I watched them acquire SolarCity then completely destroy everything they accomplished within 2 years. Elon Musk is extremely brilliant, but he is heartless and not someone I would ever work for again.
