Pros

Tesla is a hardcore place to work. Long hours, insane deadlines and employee churn is the norm. There are many plush jobs in the bay area to choose from, but it would be hard to find one as satisfying and as meaningful. Seeing the cars driving around and meeting happy customers is also very rewarding.

Cons

Shifting priorities, endless workload, inability to retain talent, too many 'smart' people with opinions, engineering compromises to ship things quicker, lack of recognition, parking.

Pros

If you want to challenge the norm and be excited about going to work everyday then this is a good place to be.

Cons

The hours can sometimes be long and tight deadlines dont help. The company is growing at a rapid pace so some of that is expected.

Pros

Company tries to provide perks for employees to feel good - free breakfast (cereal), coffee and occasional free fruits. If this is all you are looking for in a company, you may like this environment but if compensation and recognition is all you seek, look elsewhere because you may likely be disappointed.

Cons

Long hauling hours, hard to balance family and life - Huge favoritism when it comes to talent recognition and acceptance Communication from "managers" to those they manage is a nightmare - non existent - and very negative Your growth and development is slim to none depending on your department. Wouldn't recommend to a friend who's growth hungry.
