      Pros

      They are very innovative company that "flies by the seat of their pants" is good in some aspects.

      Cons

      Retail side needs much improvement to run like a business and "flying by the seat of your pants" is good for an early startup it is not a way to run a multi-billion dollars company with locations all over the world. It is no longer considered a startup.

      Learning Experience - Very smart coworkers - Frustrating Environment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great pastoral setting in Deer Creek with horses all around - Free cereal / soda - Smart and fun coworkers - lots of trips planned outside of work, hanging out, and exercising together - Oftentimes can get a lot of responsibility if you seek it - Opportunities to pick up many new skills if you are self motivated

      Cons

      - very difficult to switch groups, internal mobility is low - effective mentorship / growth opportunities are nonexistent for junior engineers. A lot of engineering is done "on the fly" by inexperienced people - decisions from executive management often seem arbitrary and designed for short term stock goals as opposed to long term strategy - tendency to hire overqualified people for mundane tasks, not follow through on promises made during recruitment, and then fire those who get pigeon holed into working on things well below their pay grade

      Pros

      Coworkers are nice and intelligent. People look out for one another depending what team you are on. Making an absolute great product for the world that drives exceptionally well. Won motor trend car of the year.

      Cons

      Upper management doesn't care about work/life balance and the hours are brutal for everyone. Disorganized process system with poor communication throughout the company. Vehicle manufacturing and power train teams don't work together due to management.
