      Pros

      Tesla is a hardcore place to work. Long hours, insane deadlines and employee churn is the norm. There are many plush jobs in the bay area to choose from, but it would be hard to find one as satisfying and as meaningful. Seeing the cars driving around and meeting happy customers is also very rewarding.

      Cons

      Shifting priorities, endless workload, inability to retain talent, too many 'smart' people with opinions, engineering compromises to ship things quicker, lack of recognition, parking.

      Pros

      The mission is inspiring. The clientele is wonderful.

      Cons

      Employees are seen as a resource to be used up and thrown away with the trash. You will dedicate years of your like, working 120+ hours a week, evenings, weekends to support the "mission." Once the company sees you as replaceable or no longer useful (because you are burnt out and a shadow of your former self at this point) they kick you to the curb. There is no loyalty. Somedays you feel great! Other days, for no reason, your are in fear of being fired on the spot for some mytery infraction. You never know what each day will bring. It's like walking on broken glass, trying to do your best and further the mission. You will always love Tesla. They will never love you back. So sad. It doesn't have to be this way. But this is the reality.
