Pros

It's really evident that people love their work and will do whatever it takes to get it done. Some people will happily work until 7 or 8 p.m. every day.

Communication is really unique at Tesla, and for a company of its size, there's a culture of free communication. As an intern, I would email and talk to senior managers and everyone else, if that was the right person to talk to.

Interns can be anything from people working on some really deep R&D projects to just another full-time employee.

Cons

The offices are very crowded, and sometimes resources are limited.

The work is very long, without some benefits of some of the other big companies in Palo Alto.

Advice to Management

Management does a fantastic job. Most teams have picked really good groups of people. However, a lot of managers are very busy and often do not have available time to handle concerns of some individuals.
