I was on the Tesla hiring webinar last Friday for the application development vertical and on more than one occasion they alluded to their overwork culture. I asked some hardball questions that they either did not see or refused to answer. Most of the webinar was non-engineering related discussion and more of just a “woke culture” advertisement. Like they say, never meet your heroes. It was really quite a bummer because I have been stoked about being a Tesla customer and potential employee candidate. We own two Tesla’s in my household so I am all in at this point. Because I am a father of two and moderately conservative I feel like I wouldn’t be a good culture fit. I’ll do my 8 hours a day and some occasional unpaid overtime is fair but I got the vibe that they work more than 40 hours a week fairly regularly. I would love to be wrong about this so someone please prove me wrong.

Thus averaging out to 8h (preferably 7h) per day. They definitely work more and things like parental are also not really a thing. Source: a friend of mine works there now.

- rconti 5y agoYou're not "all in". You can sell a car and replace it at any time. It's just a possession. I don't get how that's related to whether or not you want to work there? Everything I know about Tesla would lead me to believe that it would be a high pressure/high output environment; seems like there's more than enough publicity about this out there.
