Tesla Interiors: The craziest department at an already crazy company
Mechanical Design Engineer • Former Employee
Fremont, California, United States
March 9, 2023
Pros: The coworkers are excellent, amazing, stupendous, positive, beautiful people and a pleasure to work with all-around.
Cons: The managers are psychotic, and they only care about you as a results machine, not as a human being. Nobody is concerned about the actual quality of the car, only their own careers. There is way too much work in interiors, and it is super cut-throat. The department is ruled by fear from the top-down.
