      Very Chaotic, No consistent long-term strategy.

      Pros

      Opportunities to travel. Work with young enthusiastic people (average employee age <30). Opportunities to drive unreleased prototype vehicles.

      Cons

      Many higher level employees and managers are arrogant and don't treat lower level employees with respect. No consistent direction on priorities and different priorities between teams results in infighting over support and resources. High turnover rate means projects are constantly changing hands and same mistakes are repeated over and over again. Expected to work insane number of hours to meet aggressive timelines, only to have programs direction change at the last minute and all the work being thrown out. No transparency regarding layoffs, or future objective of company. Leadership that does not operate with honesty or integrity.

      High Turnover, Egotistical and Toxic Management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Co-workers were generally great. There was a great team mentality. I definitely met more good people than bad. Tesla will train you if you don't have auto experience, but if you don't live near the training facilities, moving and out of state tuition costs can break you. They will provide you uniforms. Some shops provide tools for you. Benefits are decent.

      Cons

      Frontline management was toxic and Tesla seemed to promote and encourage these toxic, power-hungry personalities. People were quitting left and right because of this. They only care about numbers. The soul of this business has left. Low pay for a dangerous job. They will pay women and marginalized groups disproportionately.
