Tesla Falls In Employee Ratings After Hardship

[Brian W + 78]

Tesla rankings at two high-profile job websites have declined, suggesting that job dissatisfaction at the electric car company is intensifying amid layoffs, strategy shifts and executive turnover.

Tesla placed 16th on LinkedIn’s annual “Top Companies 2019” list published in April. It held the fifth and sixth spots in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At jobs site Glassdoor, Tesla’s overall company rating fell to 3.2 out of 5 stars based on reviews written in the first quarter from a high of 3.6 in 2017. The average rating of the nearly 1 million employers reviewed on the site is 3.4.

In the first quarter, Musk’s CEO approval rating dropped to 52 percent from 90 percent in 2017. Tesla’s “recommend to a friend” rating fell to 49 percent in the first quarter from a high of 71 percent two years prior.
