Pros

I liked working for a company who's changing the automotive industry. The people at Tesla are there because they believe in what the company is trying to achieve and that makes a huge difference in the work environment. I enjoyed the people I worked with. Tesla has good benefits and shares of stock that vest over 4 years are typically given with employment. Since the company is growing quickly, there are many opportunities for advancement.

Cons

As a new(er) automotive company, Tesla has limited resources which can make a job more difficult. They also change direction on job focus regularly so being flexible is a must. Pay is average. Working long hours is expected.
