Pros

Tesla offers a unique opportunity to be a part of what truly feels like a movement toward sustainable energy. Employees get to see their extraordinary efforts in media and more importantly in the passion shown by owners. It feels amazing to work on a real, physical product that is pushing the envelope of technology.

Cons

Tesla sets nearly impossible goals and expects employees to exceed them. Typical 9-5 work days are impossible. Tesla expects employees to work not just long hours, but smart long hours to achieve milestones in condensed timelines. If an employee doesn't have a sincere passion for Tesla's mission, they will be frustrated with the pace and expectations.
