      Pros

      You get to say you work for Tesla along with 10000 others.

      Cons

      Everything, management is surprisingly bad. You always think your current management sucks, but then you come here and realize your old managers were good. Atleast they likely had a clue. They try to reinvent everything just to realize industry standards were good to begin with.

      Disappointment & Frustration.

      Pros

      Great Management Team, most coworkers were quality people.

      Cons

      Disappointment & frustration is all I experienced at the Tesla Gigafactory. Extremely poor working conditions, miserable & dangerous commute, poor safety standards, disgusting bathrooms, short breaks, long shifts, low pay, communication is a big mess, & HR too busy to care.

      Pros

      - on good days, the mission does feel inspiring to be a part of - strong coworkers for the most part - challenging projects to work on - get to say you work for Tesla

      Cons

      - completely unrealistic program timelines result in backbiting, cutting corners, mental and and personal stress - energy and solar program get almost no attention internally or externally, many people are leaving - demoralizing to see the solar business getting purposefully shelved. Have to let it die gracefully to avoid proving litigation re- solar acquisition wrong - morale is extremely low given all of the layoffs and voluntary turnover - you are forced to “volunteer” to support quarter end delivery and production initiative - open office location is terrible, they are cramming more and more people into small areas - stock is super volatile which creates a lot of stress
