Pros

Good stock program, free full self driving, great medical benefits, and always learning new things as an employee since the company is always progressing

Cons

A lot of favoritism, difficult to move up, don't always know what's changing until last minute. Lots of escalations about delivery, customer satisfaction, and other workers not doing their job. No commission or flexibility (have to do what's best for the company only attitude and not employees). HR and management doesn't have your back, and not many employee incentives. There isn't really culture and people are two-faced. There is no team collaboration, you have to give up your sales that you worked hard for, even if they only made one phone call with barely any notes in the system "they were first form of contact." People get credit for things they didn't do. Tesla is very unorganized, and people only care about themselves and spreading drama. Credit goes to whoever took the card and placed the order which causes conflict with peers.

Pros

RSUs/Stock options, health benefits including free therapy

Cons

High turnover rate of executives and Sr. Managers, frequently mandates OT for all hourly employees and managers are expected to work 55+ hours and be available at all times for meetings/company pushes. Consistently asked to do more with less employees and there are always competing priorities for software improvements. Overall provides a lack of support for the employee experience resulting in a consistently poor customer experinence.

Pros

Workdays were never slow and boring

Cons

HR treats its employees like cogs in a machine. They will lie and do whatever it takes to get the most productivity out of their workers. Some members of management are extremely incompetent and if you disagree with how things are done they'll find a way to fire you.
