      Pros

      Tesla functions like a start-up. Fast paced. Passionate team that seeks to change the world. Exposure to multiple areas of the business.

      Cons

      No work-life balance. Expect at least 70 hours per week with a minimum of 30% less reward than the industry average.

      Abusive Experience

      Pros

      The pay was decent. You also got to work for a company that sold premium cars; which enables you to learn a lot about the automotive industry.

      Cons

      Management was horrible. They were very aggressive, and quick to throw their employees under the bus. You will spend some time preparing and studying the paperwork for a customer; they suddenly the manager will switch you to another one, without telling you, then blame you for not being prepared. Most of the employees on the sales team are very tight knit, and treat new people with disdain.

      Pros

      Lots of organizational exposure and ability to work cross-functionally Hardworking, talented co-workers Never boring.

      Cons

      Senior management lives in fear of Elon and never questions his questionable decisions. No matter how hard you work, it's never enough Lots of the talented people who built this company have left in the last 6 months.
