      Pros

      Cant think of any except the fact that its a "famous company"

      Cons

      Much lower salaries , expect you to work 12 hour days on a regular basis, you can be called to work anytime on weekends. Company is full of politics and unless you are a politician yourself good luck getting any success. Really regret joining this company and wasting my time there when my friends had been through similar experiences before. People who joined the company early on have been promoted to even director levels when guess what they don't even have a relevant bachelor's degree... Sorry state of affairs at this company! I saw all my extremely talented friends leave one by one because they were tired of the unreasonable demands & lack of growth.

      Pros

      The mission is inspiring. The clientele is wonderful.

      Cons

      Employees are seen as a resource to be used up and thrown away with the trash. You will dedicate years of your like, working 120+ hours a week, evenings, weekends to support the "mission." Once the company sees you as replaceable or no longer useful (because you are burnt out and a shadow of your former self at this point) they kick you to the curb. There is no loyalty. Somedays you feel great! Other days, for no reason, your are in fear of being fired on the spot for some mytery infraction. You never know what each day will bring. It's like walking on broken glass, trying to do your best and further the mission. You will always love Tesla. They will never love you back. So sad. It doesn't have to be this way. But this is the reality.

      Pros

      Great opportunity to meet incredible people, to step up and be a leader in some incredibly challenging situations and to be a part of an inspiring movement.

      Cons

      Management is very under qualified to lead. I love Elon Musk and find him inspiring but my day to day management on location and regionally was very poor. I was also very underpaid for the work load and level of responsibility and commitment I had to show.
