How bad is Tesla as employer?
Dealing with Sales, Delivery and Service Center employees, they all seem to be depressed or disgruntled. How bad it is to work for Tesla?
Depends... are you a masochist?
Do you like to work for a sociopath who has received margin loans on all his stock to the point where he will do anything, including destroying the lives of whistleblowers, swatting, and perpetrating the biggest fake buyout in stock market history to keep the stock price up? If heβll do that, imagine what he thinks about work life balance. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-03-13/when-elon-musk-tried-to-destroy-tesla-whistleblower-martin-tripp https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/25/opinion/elon-musk-tesla.amp.html
Management has no idea what's going on so they blindly fire people by drawing names out a hat, if that's cool with you come join us and see your rsu's go down with every tweet
Working for Tesla is like teaching high school. You have to be dedicated to the mission. It's a thankless job and you're underpaid. The company is committed to fossil fuel independence, so that's rewarding.
Maybe that was true before the solar city bailout. Tesla mission now is sustain Elon Muskβs lifestyle.
His lifestyle is pretty much to work every hour of every day, so yes we sustain that...
The only people Elon keeps around are people who agree with him. If you have any sort of disagreement with him he will fire you.
