Pros

There is nothing really positive I can offer besides being part of a company that is well known.

Cons

I'm a very ops driven thinker. At the time I was working here there was too many operational flaws that I thought were red flags. I'll never forget how many calls I got from people telling me their model y's windows were opening on their own in the middle of winter. Additionally, the calls I would get after someone accepted their car only to find out their were a lot of QA issues.
