Pros

High energy, fast paced culture with driven and hard working teammates who want to do the right thing. Flat organization -- everyone has the opportunity to and expected to make an impact.

Cons

Long hours and lesser benefits than other bay area tech firms, but the work/life balance is counter balanced by amazing teams and high energy.

Pros

As a software engineer at Tesla, you're constantly pushing code. If you're looking for bureaucracy (and I highly doubt that you are as an SE), then Tesla isn't the place for you. If on the other hand, you enjoy working fast and getting stuff done, then you'll definitely love it here.

Cons

The company benefits aren't that great, especially in comparison to other tech companies in the bay area.
