A Mess

Pros

You feel cool wearing a Tesla logo

Cons

Working at Tesla was a nightmare; the stress was insurmountable. It was a chaotic, hostile environment. Every quarter they were changing our compensation, or job requirements. A lot of things didn't seem legal as it pertained to how they were changing things. The most incompetent employees were promoted - especially to director. This then had a domino effect on the rest of the employees. Most of the time, no one knew what was going on, and the worst part of it was how the customers were being handled with gross neglect. I'd also like to mention as a female employee, it was very apparent that women were not respected in the workplace, and were not given the same opportunities as their male counterparts. Overall, Tesla seems like a cool company that's trying to change the world, but the reality is it is a giant, chaotic mess. One bad decision after another.

Pros

Amazing product and genuinely helping to change the world for the better.

Cons

Unbelievably bad management, zero organisation, active HR policy to burn through young single people who will work the longest hours, then replace then when they drop.
