Pros

Great Mission - CEO is inspiring. Technology of the cars are game-changing and driving within the business is a plus. Event days are exciting. (sales) Prove great place to develop interpersonal skills.

Cons

Awful hours - you may do 9 days straight without the legal 11 hours minimum time off between shifts. No work/life balance. Expect to work on days off. Expect to be fired without dismissal or warning for reasons out of your control. Sales managers are dis-honest and do not support your development. Employee burnout is common resulting in high turnover

Pros

People are extreme responsive and a pleasure to work with. Low bureaucracy. High energy. Beautiful coworkers. Young workforce. We make the best cars in the world. It's a dream come true to work here.

Cons

The food is awful and parking is a nightmare. So many people packed into small offices. Processes need refinement. It's not perfect, but at least there is a clear path to improvement! I personally don't mind working so much, but it does require minimum 10-14 hours a day to be successful. Not a surprise it has such high turnover.
