Pros

People are really nice. CEO has a great vision and plan. Benefits are decent, no match on 401k though.

Cons

No work life balance and no one seems to care. Most processes are so manual things take hours to do

Pros

When people hear you say you work for Tesla they think it would be awesome, but it's not.

Cons

Upper Management has no idea what they are doing and can not scale their business or hire according to their needs. Installs take forever because of their lengthy process and many departments that seem to work against each other. They also restructure things often leaving many people laid off with no severance package. The make many promises that are rarely kept. Also no 401k match and you can't expense anything whatsoever as times are tight.

Pros

Company reputation will get you noticed in general, very interesting brand to many people Benefits: least I have payed to a full benefits for a family of 4 for years

Cons

Pay is on the mid low end Very chaotic work environment, many last minute changes Poor communication across the company, Work life balance difficult to achieve, the above cons directly affect work life ballance Work hours: I have been asked to work all hours of the day or nigh, holiday, not extra compensation offered for the extra effort, I have felt taken advantage of many times Very aggressive time lines for projects, I have not been involved in any projects that were completed in estimated or dictated time lines, most projects take twice as long to complete as estimated by executives Most products go out half baked
