Pros

The recruiting dept has some of the best recruiters in Silicon Valley. Everyone loves working for the company and we are the companies biggest cheerleaders.

Cons

In past years did not have the past leadership and guidance was vague. But with the new leadership in place the recruiting dept is soaring!

Pros

People are extreme responsive and a pleasure to work with. Low bureaucracy. High energy. Beautiful coworkers. Young workforce. We make the best cars in the world. It's a dream come true to work here.

Cons

The food is awful and parking is a nightmare. So many people packed into small offices. Processes need refinement. It's not perfect, but at least there is a clear path to improvement! I personally don't mind working so much, but it does require minimum 10-14 hours a day to be successful. Not a surprise it has such high turnover.

Pros

Extremely great for the ones who rebuild their own kingdom by bringing their own from their previous work places. If you happen to be one of those, you do not need to know much.

Cons

Evil doers(HR, managers and some of peers, + Elon) have cultivated such a culture that you gotta be enslave yourselves because the ones in favor of managers don't do anything but bullying you. Low pay. No recognition. No basic human respect. Not even knowledge transfer. You end of training most of them. Most of those evil ones do not know what they are doing, but only bullying the ones that really work. If you wanna fight back, good luck with that! The only thing you can do is yell at them then quit.
