Pros

Benefits are amazing. I knew many people that worked there just for the perks.

Cons

Every word ever spoken is recorded and analyzed via AI. Everything I ever spoke, whether on or off the phone, up to and including non-customer facing interactions, and conversations with peers. I didn't catch on to this, or take it too seriously until 3 months down the road. It made it difficult to perform knowing that every word, action, or keystroke was factored into a rubrick thay rated my "Tesla Voice" overall. For the following three months, I'd never worked so hard at a job that I became increasingly worse at, until I was ultimately laid off.

Pros

It's great working for a company that is always pushing the bounds of tech, it's cool to be a part of it.

Cons

They will track every minute you are working or away. So if you have an upset stomach one day and have to go to the bathroom a lot, prepare to get written up and have a meeting with your manager about time, and it could cost you your job. Also, if you get sick and don't have sick leave (which you are not given sick leave for the first 90 days), you'd better expect to still go to work or don't show up at all.
