Ambitious Colleagues, Draining Pace
Ambitious Colleagues, Draining Pace
Tesla is a very fast-paced work environment. If you work there, it is expected that you will give 100%. As an intern, you will work with some of the best people in the industry and have legitimate responsibilities that are crucial for keeping the factories moving along.
Very young and ambitious colleagues.
There is opportunity to be promoted if you show that you have what it takes.
The work environment can be draining and stressful over long periods of time. Long hours and working weekends are fairly normal, depending on the importance and timelines of projects. As Tesla matures, I can see this work environment changing to a more relaxed atmosphere. I think it is a great place to work if you want to slingshot your career in your mid to late 20's and early 30's. You will be working with the best of the best in incredibly clean and advanced factories. It was a fantastic opportunity.
Listen to engineers' requests. If they think they need more people, resources, or time, try to be accommodating. Personally, I would love free Cheez-Its in the lunchrooms.
