      Pros

      Good marketing for the company, high technology investment, salary just OK after stock compensation.

      Cons

      Nasty work environment (no team work), Mid-management not experienced, nor committed, long hours, expectations out of scope, always late. Good for young engineers, looking for career development willing to pay the price of long hours.

      Pros

      Working at Tesla has been a great experience. Highlights include: - Fun and intelligent co-workers - Interesting projects - A very dynamic work environment (expect constant change) - Flexibility in choice of projects - Minimal management overhead (no filling out timesheets!)

      Cons

      Sometimes managers don't set clear expectations. It may just be that a lot of the managers are quite young and don't have experience themselves, but it can be frustrating at times. Generally there has not been a lot of bureaucracy, but it does exist, as do politics, and sometimes these get in the way of making smart decisions. Salary is low compared to other companies in the Bay Area.
