Tesla

Satisfying work – you get to work on something super useful for the world.

Challenging projects will keep your brain active at 110%. No dull time.

Great resume trophy. Easier to use Tesla experience to land in a better-paying and more respectful job.

Some people were really smart, but high-class jerks. No real leadership to make people work as a team.

No work-life balance. I have seen people working 65-70 hours a week for months without any vacation. Nobody appreciates your hard work that much.

Managers are half-baked. Most of them don't have any background or training to be a manager. The majority of them are good with technical skills, and they are as bad as you can expect with people skills.

Disrespectful work culture. Again, managers have no clue how to manage conflicts in the team.

Salary is 10-20% lower than other tech companies.

Hire real managers, don't just promote random geeks to manage technical groups.

Build a company where people disagree respectfully. Really respectfully.

Respect the hard work of employees, not with only BS words in so-called "all-hands meetings" or super BS emails. Give them rewards for their hard work.

Tesla gained a super brand for the hype. Don't ruin it by firing people here and there. Be strategic in hiring people. Don't lay off every 6 months. I am sure that now most of my friends would not even apply to Tesla because of its erratic nature of layoffs.
