Pros: Every software engineer at Tesla is able to make a significant impact on the company. The environment is open, supportive, and collaborative. Everyone's focused on the mission, and nobody is just there for the perks, which results in a workplace full of driven, inspiring people. For those who genuinely care about sustainable energy and/or want to apply themselves to a demanding environment with plenty of opportunities for excelling, this is a great place. I found other teams to be generally appreciative of critical feedback and contributions.

Cons: 1. Aforementioned perks: there are none. 2. Experience varies between teams. While mine is/was positive, be attentive to the culture within the specific team you're interested in. 3. Tech debt and burdens pile up. Once you touch a project, it might become yours forever.

Pros: The CEO's vision and execution are next to none.

Cons: CEO gets distracted to work outside of Tesla, and second-tier leaders don't take initiatives.

Pros: Ownership of entire vehicle assembly as intern.

Cons: You may not get hired due to restricted headcount.
