Hey guys. I have the opportunity to join either Tesla Autopilot or Facebook for a summer SWE internship. I was wondering if you guys had any advice regarding which to choose based on their culture, career growth, and compensation?
I'm a bit torn because the work at Tesla seems really cool, high impact, and cutting edge (I honestly think self driving cars are the future) but the compensation isn't great and I've heard some bad things about the culture. On the other hand FB comp is great and is supposed to have a great culture, but I feel like the work won't be as cool or interesting (team matching doesn't occur until later so I won't know what team I'm on until after I've accepted).
Do you guys have any thoughts? Would also really appreciate some advice from people that currently work there!
Update 1:
I would still have 2 more internships after this summer so I can definitely try to reapply to the company I end up not taking.

FB would be relatively stress free and you should be able to learn a lot and enjoy work life while at it. Tesla has no perks, stress is high especially with all the layoffs. But the "impact" of the work at Tesla might definitely be higher. Maybe even going into production right in the next release. But honestly if I was in your shoes I'd go for FB.
