      Pros

      Sexy company with innovative product with great vision

      Cons

      The company has no concerns for the employees' well-beings. They treat their employees as machines and devote no resource or time to career development or their well-beings. It's common to be working 70 to 80 hours a week and management has no respect for your personal life. Texts or emails on the weekend are a norm. Pay is extremely under market considering that it's a palo alto based company and the # of hours everyone puts in

      Exciting technology, great co-workers, very long hours

      Pros

      Tesla is leading the world in automotive technology, including how the car connects to the user. Everyone I interacted with at Tesla, from peers to management to direct reports to the front desk personal, was a top notch employee. I don't think I've ever worked in a containing so many A players.

      Cons

      Extremely long hours. If you're salaried, expect to work 60-80 hours a week minimum. Successful employees at Tesla do not have kids and likely aren't married.
