      Pros

      People who work there are great. Lots of office perks like free vending machine drinks, company stock options.

      Cons

      Mandatory overtime, 16 hours a day, 7 days a week on a "salary" which means no overtime pay. Too many chiefs and not enough indians.

      Pros

      Very exciting, get to work on cool product. Proud to be part of such a progressive company that drives forward and pushes the boundaries

      Cons

      There is zero respect or concern for personal time. That could be lunch times, going home in the evenings , weekends or Vacation. If something has your name on it then you can kiss goodbye to 'your' time. Most people on the outside may consider this to be 'acceptable' and part of working for a progressive company but believe me it gets old very quickly, especially when after working a full weekend or through the night nothing changes. It is difficult to build a reputation and you can go from Hero to Zero very quickly

      Fast Paced, Interesting Work, Smart People, sub-par employee benefits

      Pros

      The work is very exciting, fast paced. Time to market is quicker than anywhere else. Lots of cutting edge projects and smart people to work with. The atmosphere is still leaning towards a small startup with collaboration across departments. If you want responsibility, Tesla will pile it on until you say "when".

      Cons

      Long hours, impossible deadlines and minimal job security. Almost everyone working at or above long term sustainable levels. Almost non-existent employee benefits.
