I need advice about working in Tesla. I see lot of negative stories on Twitter that Tesla going bankruptcy. Not selling enough cars. Should I be concerned about joining? @tesla

      Not true for many if not most SWE teams! Many SWEs I know work 40-50h/week, though I have heard of those in more critical teams working 60-70h/week

    Your offer is pretty low, I would expect 300k or higher, rest I would not listen to people who are not at Tesla much about the work culture, hours, layoffs etc.

    1. You will not get 300k base at Tesla unless you are at director level. 2. The reason you would probably want to be at Tesla is the stock / RSU. It is projected to grow to around $500. 3. It will look good on your resume.
    I agree with others - you will work long hours. My SO is part of the executive leadership at Tesla, so fortunately I am able to get plenty of insights.
