Pros
Free health insurance. Interesting products. Some nice people.
Cons
It’s so backwards. It has a WW2 mentality and we’re all supposed to buy in to the idea that we should give every last bit of utility we can muster from our lives in exchange for under market pay with 2-3% raises and 3-4% bonuses every other year. I’m 3 years in, overqualified for my position, constantly praised for my work, but have no idea of my path to advancement despite requesting a roadmap. Leadership is not inspirational, simply fear-based and political. The attitude toward employees and vendors is “you should count yourself lucky to work with Tesla”. Someone leaves? Your team is lucky to get approval to backfill. There is 0 budget for professional development, continuing ed conferences, etc. I’m not even that overworked like some describe; the environment just sucks. I miss my old job.
