Pros: Exciting projects, variable difficulties, variable topics. You will learn a lot. Definitely better than working at some company where you'll have boring days and don't know what to do with your life. At Tesla, you're making an impact. Interesting people, most of whom I met were helpful and always happy/excited. Suppliers respond fast, as they're excited to work with Tesla and know if they are too slow, they can be dropped. Room for growth, change, improvement, etc. The slight startup vibe makes things happen quickly. If things need to get done, they need to get done. There was a new shuttle service when I joined, and people weren't allowed to transport their parts from HQ to the factory. Too many complaints, and engineers were restricted from getting their work done. Management immediately got on it and made the change happen. Open environment, everyone is approachable. You even see Elon once in a while. Free drinks, full-time employees can check out Teslas for the night/weekend, free cereal. Company-sponsored outings/happy hours.

Cons: - Addictive. Everyone works hard, and you'll feel like you should too. You can get carried away and become a workaholic, so just be careful. - Slow email responses internally, but follow up and they should respond. Everyone is just so busy.

Pros: Fast pace, competitive environment, challenging work.

Cons: No obvious cons at all.

Pros: Unparalleled experience and learnings that will surely help you find work somewhere where you are valued.

Cons: Extremely long hours and a low salary, to the point you'll be wondering if you can put food on the table.
