Tesla reviews

For people who are genuinely considering employment with Tesla Fremont - heed the following. This is not a place for professional, mature individuals with high EQ and definitely not suitable for professional women. Read up on Stockholm Syndrome or 'Stanford Prison Experiment of 1971' if you want to understand the 'why' in how a culture can turn so rotten. However, there is much to be gained if you are willing to compromise a few things and if you are intelligent enough to see through the bs and not play the game. Working at this company is one of the few places today where you can learn just about anything - with the right intentions and grit you will gain knowledge far beyond what most companies can offer you. Bearing this in mind you will more than likely come across several individuals in leadership who learned the wrong way. Thanks Elon. Monkey see Monkey do. Bad behavior is somehow rewarded at this company. The lack of emotional intelligence in leadership breeds abuse of power, gaslighting, bullying, retaliation, harassment which is rampant and from my experience absolutely intentional. Not everyone in leadership is like this but you will find more bad than good here. You will find scenario after scenario where young and incompetent leadership have access to highly intelligent and experience subordinates - this is by design. How do you think Elon was able to rewrite history? People below leadership are the true builders and problem solvers. This company will show you what you are actually made of since integrity and character are not rewarded. I watched several individuals who thought they had integrity use willful ignorance as an 'out' bc it was the easy thing to do and out of paranoia and fear it was the only thing they thought they could do. Most people find themselves complicit to the silent rules of the road. Best of Luck.

I could tell very quickly that morale was not good in a lot of departments. My dept lacked proper training. Training was typically one week long, but the majority of time was spent going over admin stuff (benefits, schedules, how awesome Tesla is, etc.) Very little attention was given to job expectations other than vague cliches. The work was quite arbitrary in nature, so when you asked two different people to explain, I always got a different answer. They would say to make the most educated guess when things were ambiguous. But you always got demerits (minor or major critical) anyway. My boss' boss would spend a couple of hours everyday pulling people in to tell them what they were doing wrong. I was told in the same sitting that "Tesla values you and wants you to succeed", but also "If you don't improve, you will be put on a PIP". If you feel that a very hectic pace, rampant micromanagement, a plethora of ambiguity, and a workplace that doesn't care about its employees, then this might be the job for you!
