Tesla

Every software engineer at Tesla is able to make a significant impact on the company. The environment is open, supportive, and collaborative. Everyone's focused on the mission, and nobody is just there for the perks, which results in a workplace full of driven, inspiring people. For those who genuinely care about sustainable energy and/or want to apply themselves to a demanding environment with plenty of opportunities for excelling, this is a great place. I found other teams to be generally appreciative of critical feedback and contributions.

1. Aforementioned perks: there are none.

2. Experience varies between teams. While mine is/was positive, be attentive to the culture within the specific team you're interested in.

3. Tech debt and burdens pile up. Once you touch a project, it might become yours forever.

Good developers burn out because they don't hide from emerging problems, and then every problem gets thrown their way. Get better at distributing workload.
