Received an offer from Tesla as a 3 month to 6 month contract to hire for a QA role and also received an offer from Alation as a Full Time SDET. Any insights on both companies and work culture would be highly appreciated. TIA. YOE: 4 Current TC: 130k
What’s the offer TC?
TC is 170k excluding shares which I am not sure is how much since it's not public yet.
Tesla is a mess
Stay away from Tesla
Nice how was the interview process for QA/sdet, leetcode or more actual job experience talks?
It was easy leetcode and experience talks
Stay away from Tesla. It’s a contract gig. You won’t get severance if your contract ends. You are better off taking the fte role. You can get severance if you get laid off.
Yeah moving forward with FTE role
Good luck!
Alation's ENG org is great. Lots of folks staying on for years. Very good culture and great leadership.
Thank you for your response. It really helps.
Alation is a great place to work..very good work culture ..go for it
Thanks for the insights :)
Go with Alation. Tesla might do layoffs soon and contracts can get cut.
That's what I thought too considering the stock drop of Tesla. Any thoughts on Alation as a startup?
Financials look strong but can't speak for work culture etc
