Tesla reviews

-Delivery is not the place to be; extremely hierarchical environment, management does not care about you, they only care about themselves, leaving on time, and doing absolutely nothing while they’re at work besides bossing everyone else around and making decisions they have little to no knowledge about. -Have to deal with managers that don’t know anything about delivery, but act like they do, get paid 10-15 times more than you, and they get to work later and leave earlier than pother hard working people -not enough pay for the amount of responsibilities they throw towards you -health is effected/compromised because if it’s busy, they demand you to work, and don’t even ask if you’ve eaten or taken a break -they only care about numbers; employee health, safety, and comfortability comes second -if you have an idea that will solve a problem and help make the system more efficient, you have to go through management to implement it, and more than half of the time, they will either laugh at your face, or tell you “no that won’t work” or “I don’t like that idea” -forget spending time with your family and friends, you’ll barely have any time to take care of yourself

Tesla has been experiencing a lot of growing pains with trying to accomplish too much, too fast. Poor processes and infrastructure result in wasted time and quality control issues at pretty much every area of the company, whether software, manufacturing, or customer service. It's a large company, so roles are somewhat fairly narrowly defined. I learned a lot in the first six months, but then found myself wishing I could branch out more after a year. It's not easy to move around between engineering teams/roles. Compensation can be poor (particularly for new hires with limited experience or straight from school). More senior roles within engineering do appear to be better-compensated, at least. Infrastructure is poor for certain aspects of development and validation. Without dedicated teams for maintaining test infrastructure for individual firmware teams, things have fallen apart over the years and are not scalable/sustainable.
