It's possible they are still hiring for software and laying off for other areas.

- cmrdporcupine 4y agoI'm sure that's the case. But personally I wouldn't want to be a SWE in that kind of scenario. Dumpster fire all around you and company as a whole pivoting to austerity while at the same time hiring 20+ software engineers? When I see that many open postings at once, alarm bells go off.
- tootie 4y agoI think that's going to be a lot of places soon.
- cure 4y ago> When I see that many open postings at once, alarm bells go off. It all depends on context though - for a company as massive as Tesla, 20+ open postings for SWE is nothing. It certainly doesn't warrant alarm bells, I think.
- jacobr1 4y agoI would expect much more than that just for _normal_ attrition. People leave for any number a reasonable scenarios and you need to backfill. At the scale of a big company, NOT hiring 20-100 people at all times means you are _shrinking_.
- signatoremo 4y agoTesla’s headcount grown 40% in 2021. That’s pretty unheard of for manufacturing sector. We all hear about mass layoff but massive hiring is rarely recognized. They have almost 100K employees now. 20 open positions, especially for an in demand profession like software, is the norm at companies at such size who are doing well.
