Solid company, but a lot of favoritism and politics
Solid company, but a lot of favoritism and politics
Great pay, benefits, and stock options. Also, there was minimal work/effort to do in my department. The perk of mentioning you work at Tesla was nice too.
Very political and favoritism is rampant throughout my department and the rest of the company. You will get backstabbed and stonewalled if viewed as a threat to upper management. If you are young and just get hired on, be prepared to pull all the weight and carry the workload in your department for any kind of level up or bonus, if any.
The company is full of people that are VERY underqualified that I suspect were hired on when Tesla was just a start-up. There needs to be another purge of these employees before the company becomes a true professional place of work.
Know who your allies are. Not everyone, including new blood, is out to gun for your spot and get you fired. Stop the favoritism.

Phone interview, then a coding exam. I did the coding exam perfectly correctly, but then the recruiter came out with an excuse that I failed because the format of my answers was not the way she wanted.
