Promotions at Tesla

Is it just me or are promotions here super inflated? I've seen people go from lvl 1 to staff in 3 years...after a while title's start to lose its meaning, when you know someone barely got out of college and is a "Senior Engineer"...thoughts?

It is true. Look at all the people in banking who are VP (and even Director) with very little experience. Titles are cheap and companies use it as a retention tool.

What I noticed is those people are the ones who work 24/7 a day even on sundays and Saturdays. Then they become critical to the company and keep getting promoted.

I agree. AP seems to not have flipped there yet, don’t know about other orgs.
