      Mere hype - Opportunity has gone to sleep

      Pros

      Company tries to provide perks for employees to feel good - free breakfast (cereal), coffee and occasional free fruits. If this is all you are looking for in a company, you may like this environment but if compensation and recognition is all you seek, look elsewhere because you may likely be disappointed.

      Cons

      Long hauling hours, hard to balance family and life - Huge favoritism when it comes to talent recognition and acceptance Communication from "managers" to those they manage is a nightmare - non existent - and very negative Your growth and development is slim to none depending on your department. Wouldn't recommend to a friend who's growth hungry.

      Exciting company, but work environment deteriorating

      Pros

      Technology is interesting, product is unique, and there is a ton of job satisfaction. Some of the most intelligent people I have worked with. There is so much engineering done "in-house" that it provides tremendous opportunities to learn and grow your career.

      Cons

      Absolutely no work life balance. Tesla is hiring rapidly and the quality of people coming in are not the same caliber of what they used to be. There is a great deal of politics and back stabbing even at the lower levels. Too many manager types and not enough people willing to do actual work

      Pros

      The team that I worked for was incredible and the leadership in Draper was fantastic.

      Cons

      Upper leadership in this department are a joke. Hands down, the most vile, toxic, and overall terrible leaders I have ever had to work with.
