      Pros

      people that work there at mostly motovated, cool, and fun.

      Cons

      if you care about people, this is not the place for you. the company pushes BS on customers and most of them don't care because the cars are so cool - until they start falling apart. you're expected to do 5x your job duties and be able to find the answer to a customer's question at the drop of the hat. you could be laid off suddenly.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you're efficient and a go-getter you will be recognized and rewarded with promotions very quickly - age and experience is not a factor (I was one of the youngest managers in my department); Competitive pay; Great benefit packages including free medical insurance; ESPP & Stock Awards; Shared company mission & passionate workers (all levels); Household name and well-known so you will get attention everywhere; Casual expectations for standard "corporate" things such as dress code, professional language, etc.

      Cons

      Absolutely no work/life balance - the ask and demand at the company's current capacity is too extremely high that turnover rate is atrocious; Work from home is prohibited, so the company has lost some great talent recently and full capacity factories are leading to a surprising amount of unproductive time; Having a public and outspoken CEO leads to crashing stock prices just before employee vesting periods; Engineering teams are favored over support roles and factory roles and are not subject to as many layoffs; Salaried employees are given Flexible Time Off (FTO) instead of PTO, it's claimed to be unlimited but individual managers are allowed to cap allotment at their judgement; HR as a whole has little to no interaction with workers and non-management roles, they are only used to process promotions, performance reviews, or issue disciplinary actions and help managers meet minimal performance requirements.
