Process
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. We exchanged a few messages, and then they set up a quick phone call. No one ended up calling. When I emailed them to follow up, they didn't respond. This was extremely unprofessional, even if the company is going through some things.

Elon, think about your employees!
Applications Engineer • Former Employee
Fremont, California, United States
February 24, 2020
Pros: 1. Freedom. As a developer, you have free hands to use the technologies you want, not what you have to.
2. Value. As a Tesla employee, you can see your impact on the business, so you are not working on some "never to be released" project.
3. Fast pace. It's a constant learning curve and a lot of involvement in the business too.
4. Amazing healthcare insurance.
Cons: 1. Terrible open space with zero privacy.
2. Pay is below average in the Bay Area.
3. Lack of basic snacks and bad coffee.
4. Not enough stalls! Again, too many people in one building.
5. Lack of team/corporate events. Just work :(
