Pros

Tesla is leading the world in automotive technology, including how the car connects to the user. Everyone I interacted with at Tesla, from peers to management to direct reports to the front desk personal, was a top notch employee. I don't think I've ever worked in a containing so many A players.

Cons

Extremely long hours. If you're salaried, expect to work 60-80 hours a week minimum. Successful employees at Tesla do not have kids and likely aren't married.

Pros

Fun, fast paced, dynamic setting. Excellent product. Innovative and scrappy environment. It is great to work for a company that is truly changing an industry. Many people very hard working people.

Cons

Violent outbursts from upper management. No work-life balance. Little direction from superiors about company or personal goals. Little recognition for accomplishments.
