Pros: Great, brilliant co-workers. Great health benefits. Decent severance package for when that RIF comes.

Cons: Elon's singular focus on cars caused him to lose 60-70% of Renewable Solar sales that they had from Tesla's acquisition of SolarCity. SolarCity had >30% of the US residential solar market, now squandered to a sub-par 10%. And had to drop Tesla's workforce by 20% in 2018, in part due to this. Is this the plan of a shrewd businessman? I think not. Enter at your own risk. Pay is a bit low for the output required compared to similar tech outfits. To keep it looking okay, titles are kept low so a comparison of salaries as a function of title looks okay on Glassdoor. No separate sick days. These come out of your annual vacation days. They got rid of cash and immediate stock bonuses. Bonuses all vest, so if you are stellar, awesome, 10% bonus... which you won't see unless you stick around for 4 more years. E.g., if you are stellar for 4 years then leave, at 10% bonus vesting 25% each year, your last year you won't see any of it, and your average bonus will really only be 3.75%. Awesome? (Yes, even with these complaints, I'd recommend to a friend, at least for a little while.)

Pros: Amazing workspace with good people.

Cons: The noise is a little high.

Pros: Meaningful work Boundless learning opportunity Flat management structure

Cons: Work-life balance Perks at work Long hours
