      Great benefits and travel, but demanding hours

      Senior technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, did not pay anything for family healthcare. Lots of travel, get to see so many places in the US. Stock benefits can be life changing if managed well.

      Cons

      Work a lot of hours, if you have a family makes the work hours and travel little harder. Sometimes too many changes, some were good but then taken away with a new change.

      Career growth potential, but support roles need improvement

      Scheduling manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For those who perform well under pressure there can be a strong career path for you here. Very dependent on what team or product you are on from motors to energy tho. Solid pay and culture on the energy side

      Cons

      For being as world famous as tesla is, some support roles and software development are lacking. The data quality isn’t always good which halts automation and can pour more manual work on the employees

      Demanding but rewarding — top-tier technical challenges

      Staff ai engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Genuinely hard technical problems at real scale — AI things work that pushes you. Talented, driven colleagues, fast iteration cycles, and a flat structure where you can ship impactful things without layers of approval. Strong brand value on a résumé and broad exposure across the ML stack.

      Cons

      Intense pace and high expectations can blur work-life boundaries, especially during crunch periods.
