Tesla Work Experiences
- 5.0Hard work but very satisfyingManufacturing Engineer • Former EmployeeFremont, California, United StatesDecember 24, 2015Pros: Very hands-off management style. Deadlines are set, but nobody is breathing down your neck. They give you large projects and expect you to pilot them solo and reach out for help when needed. Everyone there is very positive and fun to work with and seems to really enjoy their job.Cons: The expected amount of work and time input is very high relative to other places. The compensation is also somewhat less.
