      Lots of work, too many hours, but intense amounts of learning

      Pros

      Proud to work there. Lots of hands on experience and the freedom to do your own work. Opportunities to take work from beginning to end.

      Cons

      Disrespectful managers with no regard for regular work hours. Expect to work about 60 hours a week minimum, and get paid only for 40 hours. The salary does not compensate for what the company demands of employees. Significant lack of organization throughout the company, which was a constant source of annoyance.

      Hard at work on fantastic projects that can make a real difference in the world.

      Pros

      Highly competent staff, lots of experts. Very high degree of trust and autonomy in doing work. Everyone works hard and no one asks them to do so. Fantastic culture. Seeing the awesome cars we are building come together with parts we design is as cool as it gets. Great people. Free breakfast cereals, coffee, snacks, drinks. Great brand.

      Cons

      Pay does not measure up to other places I could work. So easy to work hard since the projects are so cool, it's a challenge to keep the work/life balance in a happy place. Would like to see more emphasis on workplace safety. Limited staff to handle the hyper growth that is underway.
