Dynamic Projects, Manager Confusion
Dynamic Projects, Manager Confusion
Working at Tesla has been a great experience. Highlights include:
- Fun and intelligent co-workers
- Interesting projects
- A very dynamic work environment (expect constant change)
- Flexibility in choice of projects
- Minimal management overhead (no filling out timesheets!)
Sometimes managers don't set clear expectations. It may just be that a lot of the managers are quite young and don't have experience themselves, but it can be frustrating at times.
Generally, there has not been a lot of bureaucracy, but it does exist, as do politics. Sometimes these get in the way of making smart decisions.
Salary is low compared to other companies in the Bay Area.
Always be on the lookout for opportunities to use the talent on your teams wisely.
