Pros
  1. Freedom. As a developer, you have free hands to use the technologies you want, not what you have to.

  2. Value. As a Tesla employee, you can see your impact on the business, so you are not working on some "never to be released" project.

  3. Fast pace. It's a constant learning curve and a lot of involvement in the business too.

  4. Amazing healthcare insurance.

Cons
  1. Terrible open space with zero privacy.
  2. Pay is below average in the Bay Area.
  3. Lack of basic snacks and bad coffee.
  4. Not enough stalls! Again, too many people in one building.
  5. Lack of team/corporate events. Just work :(
Advice to Management

Please invest in employees. Small perks matter. It doesn't have to be super fancy, but some relaxation room, a small gym, and available parking are a must.
