I'm not saying Tesla is the best place to work at (even among auto companies), just that you highlighting a bad review and presenting it as from a good one is misleading.Tesla's overall 3.4 rating doesn't exactly scream "awesome to work for". Even the positive 4-5 star reviews mention long hours, hectic schedules, hard for family life, etc.
Tesla has a 3.4 rating after 1.2k reviews. (Tesla Reviews | Glassdoor)
For comparison, General Motors has a 3.8 rating after 2.6k reviews (General Motors Reviews | Glassdoor)
Ford has a 3.9 rating after 2.6k reviews. (Ford Motor Company Career Overview | Glassdoor)
Is it so hard to believe that working at Tesla, where the CEO himself has stated they are going through "production hell" currently, is not the greatest place to WORK at? Especially when you read that hundreds of employees were let go at the same time for "performance" issues in the middle of "production hell"?
As for the other companies:
The GM summary mentions things along the same lines in the cons:
"What I will say to this is that work-life balance is what you make of it" (in 87 reviews)
"May require long hours on the job" (in 76 reviews)
"Being such a large company can make getting certain things done tedious" (in 46 reviews)
"long hours, old school thought process" (in 44 reviews)
The Ford summary also in the cons:
"less work/life balance, less career opportunities" (in 69 reviews)
"long hours and dealing with the union" (in 109 reviews)
"Management must invest in infrastructure and its work environment" (in 38 reviews)
"Management would blame their employees if something went wrong to upper management" (in 36 reviews)
I think long hours and work/life balance issues just comes with the territory for auto manufacturing.
