Pros

Pay is the only good thing but it also sucks because it traps you in a miserable job

Cons

Management follows Elon's lead - NO work/life balance All vacation needs to be scheduled AT LEAST 2 weeks in advance. Something comes up and you want a day off, too bad unless it is more than two weeks away, no flexibility. Shift bids are ridiculous, almost nobody gets 2 days off together Feedback and Skip Levels are for show, nothing comes out of it Supervisors are useless, if you can reach them, usually in a "meeting" Tools are always down, for a tech company they seem to know little about tech

Pros

Interesting job where you can learn

Cons

Unreasonable target expectations. Poor to non-existent leadership culture. Highly unorganized company. HR is completely unresponsive. They don’t provide ergonomics even if you have work related injuries. High stress environment with no work-life balance. Middle management know the deadlines and expectations are unrealistic but don’t do anything about it. They try to blame you with stats that they themselves say are far from trustworthy. Compensation is poor and stocks vest in long time. People are constantly being switched through different workflows and different teams with no reasonable criteria.
