Pros

Decent benefits. Stock options in compensation can be okay if you are there long enough to cash out.

Cons

Terrible work environment. I worked there for 5 years. I was on 3 different teams. The first team, I was laid off without notice. I went in one day and WORK my ENTIRE day, had a meeting after I was scheduled to be off and they fired my whole department. I got back in and worked as a roadside dispatcher. They are CONSTANTLY understaffed and do nothing about it. That means as a DISPATCHER we were back to back calls and most people would wait in queue for literally 30+ minutes when they are on the side of the road so of course we would be yelled at like we control the situation. The managers claim to want innovation and new ways to do things but whenever I brought up suggestions that other departments also thought was a good idea, I was basically told to stay in my lane. The managers would literally pull me into a meeting and YELL AT ME for an hour straight for something completely out of my control. HR did nothing to correct this issue either and believe me, I tried. I was able to transfer to the design team which was great at first. After like 6 months, I stopped getting support from my supervisor period. Several other supervisors left due to the working conditions and they lumped ALL of the 50+ designers under this one supervisor. He never had time for any of us. They blamed ALL issues at install on the designer even if we did not have enough information to know about the issue beforehand. The tracked those issues and if you had too many than they would FIRE you. This is what happened to me even though for the last 8 months of that job i was asking every week for help to improve so I could, ya know, keep my job. They did nothing to help me and ended up firing me for those issues. I am not surprised that they are losing sales. Tesla is a terrible company led by an even bigger terrible person.
