Pros

Good vision, may be a leader in innovation one day

Cons

Most kids working at Tesla have never had a job and now they are your supervisor. They’ll ask for feedback on how to make the department better and pass them off as their ideas. Cut throat, lots of gossip and atmosphere like high school. New CEO doesn’t care about Solar business only his cars. No leads, commission cut, and very low pay for industry.

Pros

The product is amazing. Most people are great to work with. The employee stock plan is excellent and can really make you a lot of money.

Cons

A thick, mostly incompetent layer of middle management and program managers who want to control their own silos. I reported to 6 different people in 5 years; one manager was amazing, had my back, and cared about me as a person. The rest were empire-builders with zero industry experience. Don't match 401K. Health plan is expensive.
