      Great product. Questionable management.

      Pros

      The product is amazing. Most people are great to work with. The employee stock plan is excellent and can really make you a lot of money.

      Cons

      A thick, mostly incompetent layer of middle management and program managers who want to control their own silos. I reported to 6 different people in 5 years; one manager was amazing, had my back, and cared about me as a person. The rest were empire-builders with zero industry experience. Don't match 401K. Health plan is expensive.

      It's going down soon

      Pros

      Possibly working for a company that is changing he world. But that depends on where the customers are getting their electricity from. Also solar panels and tiles may add waste to the environment. I suppose an independent organization can evaluate the net environmental impact of electric cars and solar products.

      Cons

      Cult like atmosphere. Excessive workload. Bogus accounting in order to close in less than 5 days. Money losing company (Tesla) buying another money losing company (solarcity). This purchase was a bailout benefiting the family running both companies. Executive turnover. Relying on government subsidies to grow and survive.
