Long hours, toxic management

Pros

Cool company with incredible products that are making a global difference. Stock pay is fantastic. There are incredibly bright and hard working good people in this company if you count out most of the upper management.

Cons

The hours you're expected to work are ridiculous. Tesla fires people all the time and often change the organization on a whim so you'll rifle through managers. Management works to pander to Elon which is good because he's brilliant and because most of upper management makes decisions that would only to benefit them, personally, anyway. They'll let you go in a second, there is absolutely no job security here and it shows time and time again. Not a career job. If you come to work here, fight for yourself, fight for your teammates but don't ever expect the company to care about you a bit.

Pros

Brilliant products, myself owned one Learned a lot of things. Amazing place for intern, fresh graduates and junior level engineer. Elon is mind blowing, best CEO I ever worked for.

Cons

Manager’s are pathetic Manager’s will only push there people up, even though they are not qualified and just give nonsense reason why they did that. HR is just for name, no power and useless, after giving honest opinion still nothing happens to manager because they are very close to higher manager IT took over by Asian people only, they don’t let others to reach there place. No white people at all. White people brings culture in company but this never consider. Managers don’t do any technical work, actually they don’t know any technical thing. they are just there to check status. People who raise there questions and concerns are put in lay-off list, they know this threat to them and this will impact to there politics
