Pros
Tesla has to be one of the most exciting companies to work for. Its got an ultra cool cutting edge product being built out of sunny CA. You'll work with some of the brightest, brilliant and most dedicated people you could hope to meet.
Cons
This is all comes at a price unfortunately. To be successful (which you can be) you will need to give up anything else. working 90+ hour weeks is normal and giving up any personal commitments for a Tesla one is expected. The pace of the business is so aggressive that a "just get it done" culture can lead to semi chaotic and inefficient working practice. There was also a cut throat culture among senior management to throw your colleges under the bus if they failed.
