      Inspiring mission, great product, not so great work environment

      Pros

      Very inspiring corporate mission Great cutting edge product - cool, innovative, beautiful, object-of-desire Lots of opportunity to contribute your talent Employees generally encouraged to stretch and grow Ability to personally observe Elon Musk in action Hands-on understanding of where the world is going (or should be going) in transportation

      Cons

      Little regard for motivating, retaining or rewarding talented employees (aside from being self-inspired by the mission) Under market pay and equity Dysfunctional environment - extremely political

      Pros

      The 'coolness' factor is very high and that is what drew me to Tesla. My job is exciting to some extent and I have a decent boss who understands my pain. Plus pay is OK

      Cons

      There is absolutely no work life balance and the upper management sucks, especially when they think anyone not with a IVY LEAGUE degree is not Tesla worthy! I have seen contractors are worked to the bone and I have first hand information that they are told to not charge overtime if they want a permanent job!!! THAT IS NOT COOOL AT ALL!!!!!!!

      Pros

      Tesla is young and growing extremely fast, both in employee numbers and production volumes. They have built mid-sized manufacturing lines from scratch in under a year. This is driven by smart teams of individual contributors. There is management and direction, but success depends on the motivation, self-direction, and effectiveness of lots of individuals. This provides a chance to direct what you work on and how you will develop. (At least in my experience)

      Cons

      Can be a hectic, fast paced work environment. Projects accelerate change directions fast, as needed.
