Great Team, Intimidating Managers
Manufacturing Engineering Intern • Former Employee
Lathrop, California, United States
April 21, 2023
Pros: I was given an assortment of projects during my time at Tesla and felt very fulfilled after my internship ended. The people working there were all very kind and made me feel welcomed. The engineers on my team were always open to questions and were super helpful whenever I felt stuck on a project. It felt like I was a full-time engineer as I was given a multitude of tasks ranging from small modifications to a full design of a new fixture.
Cons: Felt like some managers were having a power trip and were intimidating to interact with.
Would hear about stories of people getting yelled at in meetings with dozens of people watching.
