Pros

Colleagues, Attitude, Satisfaction of accomplishing something amazing. Not for everyone (thats why also many negative reviews). Sure you work 10 hrs a day, but honestly, time flies. I am pushed to be better than what i thought was my best. Love it

Cons

Cant think of any major ones. Maybe Parking/Bathroom, we need more. But thats also because of the growth we have had

It's A Trap!!

Pros

Free cereal in cafeterias, PTO and paid holiday.

Cons

The feelings of meaningless drab start to feel all to real when the free cereal in the cafeteria high fades off. Coworkers will constantly remind you they couldn't get another job and that is why they came to TESLA with both their words and actions. You get to watch awesome talks about how big the company will be some day then realize the only reason GM Ford or Toyota haven't crushed this place yet is because the government subsidized purchases protect the horrible efficiency and seemingly oblivious team leads and supervisors.
