      Pros

      Super fast-paced and challenging environment. Never a dull moment. Constant change. Mostly great well-intentioned people who believe in the mission and want to contribute to changing the world. Offers career paths - easy to transition to other teams.

      Cons

      People are promoted into management positions with no training and management skills, leaving many teams throughout Tesla with a very poor manager. Managers don't need to have basic people skills. In fact, they don't even need to be a team player. They just need to either be the "in" person with the chain of command and be willing to accept a position that is way over their head.

      Pros

      Driving Company Cars, get to say I work for Tesla, opportunity to work on customer facing projects, the Tesla Mission is worth supporting

      Cons

      No real culture at this company, Managers in IT department on the automotive side are clueless on how to build software, not big on testing, they use broken agile and think they understand "the process", they get requirements wrong out of the gate and often build software that is not needed.
