Pros

It's a big name, so the name can be a plus, for people who don't know about the quality of the company and the quality of the talents who work here.

Cons

1. Managements are shady and untrustworthy, I seriously wonder how they were promoted to that position. 2. My boss gave us all the tasks, then he disappeared, he was reachable but clearly had no interest in the project, told us to find a solution without bothering him. We did everything for him, he even came and asked me to teach him what to say during his presentation because he's clueless. During the presentation? He claimed that he did everything while leading the team, he did not even mention our names. 3. The pay is much lower compare to similar roles in other big companies. 4. For people who know about the industry all know that talents here are not as competent as other big companies. I came here because the name is big, a lot of competent talents left, so I recommend the same: use this company as a stepping stone. 5. Work / Life balance is different during interview talks and during actual work, they don't care how long the project is, sometimes they don't even set a due date.

Pros

The cars are always fun to drive, but delivering a new dream car to a client and seeing their excitement made my job fun. Your good work will go unnoticed and unrecognized by management.

Cons

I worked as an Operations Advisor at Tesla for a year and an half and it was one of the worst experiences of my professional life. The work environment was toxic, with constant pressure to meet unrealistic targets and deadlines, and a culture of fear and intimidation. Management was completely disorganized and lacked clear direction, leading to constant changes in priorities and objectives. This made it difficult to plan and execute tasks effectively, resulting in a stressful and chaotic work environment. Compensation was subpar for the amount of work expected, and there was very little opportunity for advancement or professional growth. Additionally, the work-life balance was terrible, with long hours and no flexibility or support for employees who needed time off for personal or family reasons. Overall, I would not recommend working at Tesla as an Operations Advisor. The company has a lot of potential, but the culture and management style need serious improvement before it can be a great place to work.
