Pros

AMAZING people: super smart, ready to take on insane challenges, already ready to help each other. Great technology and amazing products. If you have an idea: do it No politics Vertically integrated: they do everything, they control everything = huge flexibility

Cons

Insane rhythm. Everything has to be done yesterday. Oh, and by the way, if you think you need xx weeks to do something, divide that by two. Constant change of direction Very high turnover

Good mission with defunct leadership in “survival” mode

Business Outlook

Pros

- You won’t find many companies with a better mission, everyone believes what we’re doing matters - Peers will be a driving factor of keeping you happy in the company. Some amazing and hardworking people, especially those who can successfully make it past their first year or two.

Cons

- extremely high turn over of not just senior leadership, but also within teams. - brilliant a**holes running rampant amidst layoffs - leaders letting a lot of folks “sandbag” because the current state of the company is so bad that it benefits from even the smallest contributions of employees (even if it’s not their best effort - gaps are all over the place between senior leadership and associates. Those gaps are only being filled by people taking on more work, because the company is struggling to hire backfills due to financial constraints - the current attitude in the company is “survival” - no matching 401k - Elon’s behavior, tweets, and “celebrity” directly often impacts your equity I.E. income - leadership has almost no understanding of how to articulate, plan, and execute against key business priorities.
