Pros

Every person that you will work with has a similar mission through their own goals. It is not just a company made to sell cars.

Cons

If you are not prepared to function at the highest level, you will be intimidates by being surrounded by people that consistently give 110%

Pros

Can't think of any, seriously. In few years there'll be tons of companies that produce EVs, then you'll see what I meant. Oh, real pros for big bunch of people who don't know what they are doing but get put in management positions in this seemingly glamorous company, and keep driving real work bees out.

Cons

Elon is really a cheap, cheap cheap guy. None of the vehicles interior feels comfortable. Can't even be compared with Corolla. And he claims because the battery costs too much. Dumb rich people just keep throwing money to him. What's wrong with those dummies? How does he treat his 12k employees? Like maids and slaves. Lot of them haven't got 1 cent of raise in last couple of years. The darn company doesn't even have a cafeteria. Frozen WholeFood boxes are the one they sell onsite. No 401k match,....., I can list tons of ways he dirt treats his employees. Gee, is Tesla the only company on earth that poor people can find jobs? I won't be surprised one day someone takes him to a serious court and whole world will pause 'why on earth did I spend so much money on that devil?'

Pros

Excellent and challenging work atmosphere. Pay is quite low and not so great when compared to the cost of living in California.

Cons

If you are not ok with long working hours, please do not take this job. This still functions like a startup, but you earn a lot as you are paid by the hour!
