Hardcore, Rewarding, Intense Work
Tesla is a hardcore place to work. Long hours, insane deadlines, and employee churn are the norm. There are many plush jobs in the Bay Area to choose from, but it would be hard to find one as satisfying and as meaningful. Seeing the cars driving around and meeting happy customers is also very rewarding.
Shifting priorities, an endless workload, the inability to retain talent, too many 'smart' people with opinions, engineering compromises to ship things quicker, lack of recognition, and parking.
Recognize accomplishments, be humble, provide assistance to employees, set reasonable expectations, admit when you are wrong, and don't be power-hungry.
