Not a dream job.

Pros

- sexy - the opportunity to work on projects that you would never get your hands on at a larger company - the experience: 1 year at Tesla is like 2 anywhere else - brilliant coworkers - collaborative environment for the most part - beautiful campus - you might get to actually drive one of the cars, maybe

Cons

- long hours, often weekends, no work/life balance for many employees - horrible review process, limited raises based on favoritism of upper management - pay is not competitive unless you're in HR or Firmware - will fire you at the drop of a hat, with no warning, even long time employees - yet keep around bad employees - no daily perks, unless you like cereal and free soda - parking is horrible - management uses the word "scrappy" often and it's true
