Pros

The car is amazing and what they are doing for the electric vehicle space is great.

Cons

Might be dependent on the group I was in, but I found the culture to be lacking - and if anything, dreary and with very limited communication (think almost a sense of secrecy between teams). They run *incredibly* "lean" - to the point that they are almost negligent in taking care of their employees - and pay is definitely low for Silicon Valley. I imagine if you're an engineer and/or have niche expertise in some specific area of the car (batteries, etc) - you might be shielded from the strange environment and might love the work just for the sake of what you're doing - but know that you won't be making the salary you could probably make just about anywhere else.

Pros

Fascinating work, great co-workers, fantastic managers. If you put in hard work, you'll see the fruits of your labor in the real world pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle and grid battery technology.

Cons

Lower pay compared to Google, FB, etc. There's also very limiting food options nearby and no food at headquarters other than cereal.
