Tesla reviews

No work life balance (be prepared to be asked on a Friday afternoon to come in on a Saturday, and disciplined if you decline). Management does not care about you as a person at all. Management is sneaky and harsh. (My manager had a hard working colleague fired within a couple months of her start at Tesla. I do not know the details but the situation seemed unjust and unwarranted to me.) You are viewed solely as an employee with no consideration for you as a human being. No benefits. I worked here for a year and a half and somehow through legal loopholes all of my stocks were revoked when I left the company. When I gave my resignation, I was pressured by my manager to take all of my PTO days so that they would not have to pay them out. When I pushed back and stated that I wanted to work through my last few weeks, she seemed frustrated but did not push further. Tesla is cheap in regards to employees benefits, especially for the European offices. Do not expect a holiday party or anything more than free coffee. Amsterdam office was not environmentally friendly, our kitchen used single use plastic cutlery and paper plates every day for employees lunches. --> Company did not model is mission.

Where do I start. The pay, they don't match your 401K. The long hours. The mandatory overtime. No smoking allowed anywhere. If you are starting as production associate, or material handler, don't. Unless you're ok with monotonous brain numbing repetitive work. I worked with convicts.They will hire just about anyone, even your grandma. Breaks are too short. No room for advancement. Sexist. Tesla is a cult. Then there is also the issue of a lot of amazing overqualified people who get overlooked because of horrible management. People with multiple degrees. They don't care. Everyone is back stabbing each other to try and move up. Feels like High School all over again. Rarely anyone ever does move up. A lot of time you will stand around and do nothing. The place is toxic for your health. Lots of days when they send you home. Good luck being broke working at Tesla. You will have no life. No time for second job.
