      Maximum stress

      Senior program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very bright & motivated colleagues. The product offering is diverse and exciting and has high potential once understood and accepted by the general public.

      Cons

      Super stressful workplace where people become alternate and much less enjoyable versions of themselves. Almost no management adherence to their own processes in lieu of meeting a schedule.

      Great mission, fantastic coworkers

      Senior firmware engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smartest people I've ever worked with - almost everyone is expert level Elon is inspirational if a little insane Great feeling of actually doing something useful for humanity Management actually makes good decisions most of the time Benefits are better than the salary

      Cons

      Identity crisis of not being a startup but also not a mature company Mediocre pay, worst-case scenario for finding a decent commute or an affordable home Depending on what area you work in, work-life balance can be off (I personally never felt pressured to work when I didn't want to- friends of mine at the company experienced this)
