Pros

small company, get to meet people from other functions easily. Brand name. Everyone knows Tesla

Cons

The work culture is very agressive and even after your hard work you may not be treated with respect. Co workers come across as insecure the employee attrition is extremely high stay clear of some managers. Do your homework regarding the manager before you join.

Pros

You get to work on one of the coolest cars currently being built, and there are endless opportunities to push the boundaries in areas that interest you. Most everyone gets excited to talk about your job when they find out you work for Tesla (and lets face it, who doesn't like to geek out on your work?) You are surrounded by brilliant and passionate people, though most bounce back and forth between loving and hating the place.

Cons

There is no work-life balance whatsoever, management changes course of action like a 2 year old surrounded by candy, toys, and bright lights. You will be seriously underpaid no matter what you do.
