Pros

Pay is better than some or most companies for retail side work. There is always something interesting going on with the company and it is very exciting to be a part of something big.

Cons

I've had problems with the administrative side of things. Unfortunately, it feels that the company expanded huge last year and is pretty stagnant at this point. Struggling to see a future here when you can make far more money working for pretty much any other car company.

Pros

The car is amazing and what they are doing for the electric vehicle space is great.

Cons

Might be dependent on the group I was in, but I found the culture to be lacking - and if anything, dreary and with very limited communication (think almost a sense of secrecy between teams). They run *incredibly* "lean" - to the point that they are almost negligent in taking care of their employees - and pay is definitely low for Silicon Valley. I imagine if you're an engineer and/or have niche expertise in some specific area of the car (batteries, etc) - you might be shielded from the strange environment and might love the work just for the sake of what you're doing - but know that you won't be making the salary you could probably make just about anywhere else.
