Exciting place to work, but engineers are overworked
Exciting place to work, but engineers are overworked
Exciting product. Fast-paced environment, a great place to become a more well-rounded engineer. Tesla hires quality people who are good at what they do, which makes for a great team of people to work with.
Hours are long; the phone rings at all hours of the night. There is a tug of war between production and quality, both trying to do their jobs. Tesla claims that they don't have a tug of war because quality is the highest priority, but that's not true. They often have one person doing the job volume of three.
Stop expecting one person to be able to do the job of three people in a 24-hour period every day. Set clear priorities so that employees know which fire to tackle first.
