      Pros

      After working for Tesla for over 2 years, I can say it was by far the most interesting job I have ever had. Got to explore a lot of new technology, learned a lot about the business environment because there is not a lot of levels of bureaucracy, was never bored, and had opportunities to take on higher levels of responsibility than other companies would offer.

      Cons

      Highly volatile environment, plans and direction changes too frequently, unstable teams, and many projects get started, few get completed.

      Overworked and undercompensated

      Pros

      It is a small company trying to change the world, but it comes at a price. Lower level employees and upper management are easy to get a long with. There is a high possibility of travelling international which is nice. Moderate amount of job training now.

      Cons

      Everyone in middle management wants to be Elon Musk, but none of them will be. Micromanaging is the norm. Middle management has erroneous spending habits and disguises them as "innovation". No trust or respect for hard work, if you pretend like you are working hard you get rewarded. The yearly review system is broken, maximum of 3% raise per year for EXCEPTIONAL performance (3% is average in most every other company, most end up with a 1% raise (less than inflation). Personal growth with the company is non-existent, the "hire from within" motto is a joke. Salaries are well bellow the market rate, but they say the ESPP makes up for it. Benefits are MEH
