Pros: Great teammates and management, top-of-the-line equipment.
Cons: Sometimes no red tape isn’t a good thing.

Tesla is the new Ford
Senior Engineer • Current Employee
Fremont, California, United States
October 2, 2021
Pros: I still believe in Elon's mission. It's challenging and exciting.
Cons: In manufacturing, nepotism is at its peak. If you are ex-Ford or know the right people, it's easy to grow. By 'easy to grow,' I mean you can get promoted every 3 months. You can also smell corruption: vendors just make millions, overcharging for everything, but management doesn't care.
