Tesla is one of Silicon Valley's most sought-after employers

When Tesla chief Elon Musk announced in June that about 9% of the electric car manufacturer's workforce was due to leave, many people touched via Twitter knew how grateful they were for the experience of working for Tesla. Because despite or because of the catchy music, Tesla is one of the most sought-after employers in Silicon Valley, especially among young people, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Tesla is very popular with job seekers

According to the Career App handshake, Tesla has received more applications for jobs and internships than any other publicly traded company in 2016 and 2017. According to a private sector spokesperson, the number of applications filed during the Last year would have doubled to nearly 500,000. The interest of job candidates is increasing every year, quotes Tesla Human Resources Director, Cindy Nicola. Claimants are apparently attracted by the Tesla mission to provide clean energy for the future.

Plus, like many other companies in Silicon Valley, there are benefits such as free food and stock options. On the other hand, it does not seem to bother much that there are sometimes weeks of 100 hours to go. Some Tesla employees have even rejected offers that are significantly better equipped with competitors such as Waymo or Uber to work at Tesla.

The peculiarity of Tesla is that one can see the fruit of his work after a few months in the street, said a former employee of Tesla. And a student who was working as a trainee at the Fremont Model 3 plant this summer added that the suggestions would not be rejected, but would sometimes be tried the next day. In his case, after a short-term change in production processes were optimized in a week, writes the WSJ.

50 executives have left Tesla since 2016

However, not everyone seems to cope with the high workload. Many employees have moved from Tesla to Waymo, Lyft or Amazon. Since the launch of Model 3 in early 2016, more than 50 Tesla senior executives, including the CFO and sales, human resources and public relations managers, have also left the company. Although Musk described the fluctuation as normal, some observers believe that the leadership style of Tesla's boss might have damaged morale.
