      THINK TWICE

      Autopilot engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Next to no pros other than adding a fancy title to a resume

      Cons

      - lacking and underqualified leadership - little to no care about employees (offers lyra therapy sessions, but employees must take pto in order to use them among others) - lots of promises, but never staying true to their word - extreme levels of nepotism - recruiters either straight up lie or have no idea what they are talking about - will lay off even if you are overqualified or more qualified than leadership's favorites

      Tesla Cathode Austin TX

      Instrumentation/electrical technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The other techs were amazing to work with, a group of really well rounded people. This is a place you can learn valuable skills and apply them to various situations. The company itself is good to work for that offers a nuber of perks to the employees. One being free health care. Plenty of work groups to join like "Veterans of Tesla". A multitude of training is provided and encouraged. The majority of the other workers on site are a great group as well. It is a melting pot of experience and back grounds from many different industries..

      Cons

      Higher leadership is very soft for working in a blue collar environment. The guidance given is poor and left to interpretation. The leadership is affraid to stand up for the hard workers, out of fear of losing their jobs. They reward victimhood mentality and backstabbing amongst the different crafts for people to move up. There is no standards that are being applied for the new construction. There is no continuity throughout the facility for construction. The safety is lax to say the least. There is not a safety conscious culture there. Techs are not given the right tools, plans, schematics, or drawings to do their jobs.

      RUN AWAY

      Customer service representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits were great, the pay was decent, the office at one point had a coffee machine

      Cons

      Literally everything. The politics, the non-stop ball dropping because no one knows what's going on, and it's always "I'll have to get back to you." It was the worst job of my life, and led to many mental breakdowns, hefty therapy bills, and interfered with my personal life on a scale that it never should have. terrible management, archaic business practices, and the CEO is actually a lunatic.
