Tesla Work Experiences

Pay is low, if you consider the work-life balance

Mechanical Design Engineer • Current Employee

Fremont, California, United States

December 10, 2023

Pros: Smart colleagues, creative working, and a fast pace for fast learning.

Cons: Too tiring. 100% concentration and work overtime with no pay. Mentally and physically exhausting. Bad cafeteria, no subsidy on food. No free mug, bottles, or t-shirt. Very stingy. 6ft desk edge to edge.

Tesla will change the world, and they need you, 24/7

Senior Equipment Engineer • Former Employee

Reno, Nevada, United States

Pros: The company's mission to "Accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy" is admirable and inspiring. Work is challenging and invigorating. People are among the brightest on the planet, and everyone there is motivated by the same goal, so they are all very willing to help each other. I did not see any signs of aggressive ladder climbing or backstabbing.

Cons: Work schedule is 12 hours per day, 5 days per week, more when things are not running smoothly (so pretty much all the time, at this point, ha). If you have a family, you should not expect to see much of them.
