Pros

You have a 50/50 chance of getting a boss that actually cares about you!

Cons

The culture in this office is one of the worst I have ever been employed under. On top of that our department is going to be merging with another department. However they won’t indirectly just tell us that, we just get a corporate answer and beating around the bush. The managers in Draper do nothing, except walk around and look for people on their phones. Most of the managers here are disrespectful. If you are applying for the Tesla Support Role or vehicle support role, expect to be on the phones for up to 10 hours while be hawked by managers that are useless to the organization. The best way I could describe this office in Draper is over worked, under paid, and treated disrespectfully. Luckily my boss is a great guy, but don’t waste your time applying for those other roles if you appreciate your sanity. Also they offer you a sign on bonus but you only get it in 4 years, don’t fall for that. No raises either. Only stock.

Pros

It's a big name, so the name can be a plus, for people who don't know about the quality of the company and the quality of the talents who work here.

Cons

1. Managements are shady and untrustworthy, I seriously wonder how they were promoted to that position. 2. My boss gave us all the tasks, then he disappeared, he was reachable but clearly had no interest in the project, told us to find a solution without bothering him. We did everything for him, he even came and asked me to teach him what to say during his presentation because he's clueless. During the presentation? He claimed that he did everything while leading the team, he did not even mention our names. 3. The pay is much lower compare to similar roles in other big companies. 4. For people who know about the industry all know that talents here are not as competent as other big companies. I came here because the name is big, a lot of competent talents left, so I recommend the same: use this company as a stepping stone. 5. Work / Life balance is different during interview talks and during actual work, they don't care how long the project is, sometimes they don't even set a due date.
