Pros

People at Tesla are passionate about their work and the mission of the company. They're all smart and enthusiastic. The health care benefits are good.

Cons

There is too much work and not enough people to perform so everyone is overworked. The top level executive management leaves much to be desired and this lack of leadership trickles down through the ranks and leads to poor guidance, misguidance and strife. The culture is one of avoiding blame rather than taking responsibility. Tesla still has a start up mentality and has not matured into a real company. Therefore there are too many people in positions of power who should not be leaders. Salary does not compete with other cutting edge technology companies in the area.
