Pros

High pay for the time you're appreciated. There are opportunities for young engineers to learn quickly and often that means you're working with people who have never done it before and don't know where to focus their efforts.

Cons

If you have a bad boss your experience can change dramatically. And Tesla trains their managers to be disconnected and ready to fire their employees at any time.

Pros

might meet like minded people that also naively fell for the illusory "green" mission to then network into more sensible employment

Cons

- dismal pay - psychopathic C-suite - underpaid management exploits underlings to chase "incentives" - paltry "incentives" to overwork and pit employees against each other
