Pros

- Awesome projects and well-respected products. - The public loves the Tesla name. - Very smart co-workers; everyone has a can-do attitude.

Cons

- Pick your team carefully. Not all teams are successful within the company. - Long hours. - Inconsistent quality control -- some software is extremely buggy. Be sure to ask about QA process. - Some managers are 'cowboys' -- writing code all hours of the night, disregarding team feedback. - Departments often mistrust each other. IT was wary of software and vice versa, software didn't trust service, etc.
