Pros: Good product; new technologies.

Cons: Low salary, not special benefits compared to other companies, micromanagement, leaders not prepared to manage people, not work-life balance.

Pros: 1) Company Mission The appeal of the Tesla mission is alluring to most people, and most employees genuinely care about achieving the goals of sustainable transport and energy. 2) Supportive Management One thing I particularly want to highlight is that management truly listens to and respects your opinion, no matter how junior or senior you are. Going over your manager is almost expected if that is the best/quickest way forward. Goals are determined collaboratively, and you are mostly left to your own to achieve the solution. Managers help in getting resources or giving direction as required, and periodic checks on progress help keep you on track. Successes are duly recognized and rewarded, but the important thing here is that failure does not make you an outcast. The only expectation is conscientiousness and thoughtful actions. 3) Driven Team You know you have made it to the top as an engineer if you manage to get hired at Tesla. Teammates are extremely competent/driven individuals and easy to work with. The general theme is that the team rises or falls together. I have seen this attitude at work in several cross-functional projects. Teammates celebrate together on special occasions and volunteer to help each other when needed. 4) Good Pay and Excellent Health Coverage Pay is decent, but by no means the highest in the industry. Health coverage is one of the best I have seen yet. Other perks include getting a $100k+ Tesla car for the weekend as part of a lottery.

Cons: At times, the pace of change can be ridiculous and skew any work/life balance, but that is also what makes it exciting to work at the company. Each to their own on this.

Pros: Work with world-class engineering talent. Very exciting product.

Cons: No process. Very chaotic. High-pressure.
