Pros

The most exciting company in the Bay Area, making electrical cars that people actually want to be seen in, and moving to make them more affordable for everyone.

Cons

There really is not much to complain about, other than it is a company growing super fast, and experiencing some growing pains.

Pros

I liked my coworkers and piers. The work was challenging starting up a new manufacturing facility.

Cons

No work / home balance. Elon Musk expected all employees to sacrifice their personal life for his gain. Real managers with automotive experience were replaced and pushed out by ex military.
