It’s clear in Blind and other forums that Tesla is a bad place to work at. However, why the public image of Tesla is still relatively great? Strong demand for the cars. Decent stock growth. Isn’t a company doomed if the employees are not satisfied and only attracts mediocre talent (any decent talent will be able to research about the terrible culture) I understand some might say blind is just the extreme end and small population of Tesla full workforce and just a few bad apple.
maybe ppl just buy based on merits of the product lol u talked about everything except the product
If you joined when it was at < $200 pre split and your vesting schedule is 4 years you'd be an idiot to leave.
This ^
So coast for the 4 years to get all your stock then leave? That depends on if you got a good amount of stock in the beginning
Tesla software apart from auto-pilot is meh and have got low hiringbar. Tesla auto pilot pays really well and hence people stick around. Mechanical/hardware talent don't have many good options which pay decent salary.
There are a few teams outside autopilot with strong engineers. But in general it's sadly true
>Isn’t a company doomed if the employees are not satisfied and only attracts mediocre talent (any decent talent will be able to research about the terrible culture) No.
Username checks out. 😉🤣

Endless supply of Desis.
Bingo
From a purely software standpoint, outside of Autopilot they do seem meh by all accounts. Tesla is very competitive for positions in supply chain, hardware, PM, etc. The reason that they manage to stay competitive is because Tesla as a company relies a lot less on software engineers for the success of their product than most, and the part of their software that is a big equalizer (autopilot), does get good offers. If you’re not a software engineer or you’re going to Autopilot, it’s a much more competitive landscape.
“mediocre talent” 🥺
At least they didn't say horrible.
Don’t worry, it’s the blind mindset of “everyone is mediocre but me”
The reality is different working outside FAANG.
It is much harder to predict the demise of companies who have obvious track records of achievement, as opposed to speculating on success. Shareholders, lenders, investors, etc., have profound incentives to keep the train rolling, as opposed to letting things fail. As such, the bad and the ugly can still persist alongside the good. People pay good money for the promise of excellence — especially speculating on individual stocks. At a certain point ETF inclusion makes a market for shares, even if there should not be one. Thus ensuring continued liquidity. As long as the money coming in, money raised, and money borrowed is spent in areas that both continue to fuel the ‘core-of-success’ products, then companies live on. Once that does not happen, and doesn’t happen for a long time, the death spiral begins. Sears is a great example. Don’t forget, they owned — and created — no less than Allstate and Discover

'Mission' But also a lot of blind complainers are just either scrubs, trolling, or half truthing Definitely won't sit and say Tesla is a great place to work, but few places have the same level of impact (if you drink the koolaid) And as long as the kids drink the koolaid, Tesla can underpay and overwork hungry new grads
