      Pros

      Tesla is leading the world in automotive technology, including how the car connects to the user. Everyone I interacted with at Tesla, from peers to management to direct reports to the front desk personal, was a top notch employee. I don't think I've ever worked in a containing so many A players.

      Cons

      Extremely long hours. If you're salaried, expect to work 60-80 hours a week minimum. Successful employees at Tesla do not have kids and likely aren't married.

      Incredible Company, expect to work like a startup

      Pros

      Working for Tesla you are always on the cusp of technology, awesome coworkers, and incredible cars. Most of the people that work here are incredibly smart and passionate about the company, car and the future. They provide training for the position, if you're qualified and they can prime you for promotion. Promotions are definitely preferred from within, so expect to move up as the company expands and grows.

      Cons

      The hours are insane. There is no avoiding that. They hire one person to do 3 people's job...and it shows. With that being said, when you love the company and product(s) enough, it doesn't seem as daunting as another job might be.

      Pros

      - Ability to take on new initiatives and lead complex project - Your work and accomplishments have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line - Supportive team members - Lots of eye candy

      Cons

      - Poor leadership: lack of mentorship, training, coaching, guidance - Toxic culture: unrealistic expectations and deadlines, lots of finger pointing, lack of accountability - Unstructured organization: lack of clarity on person’s responsibility so you have to wear many hats and accept work outside of your scope/expertise - No flexibility to work from home: mandatory to be onsite 40 hours a week
