What kind of employer will Tesla be here in Germany?
There is currently a lot of optimism - but there is already a crunch in the electric transmission.
Elon Musk and the vision-driven company Tesla are polarizing.
They did that years ago, but since the announcement of the construction of the
new Tesla car factory
, the Gigafactory in Grünheide, Berlin, they have received even greater attention.
And with good reason: Not only is the recently richest person in the world * a more than
interesting personality
, countless people also expect a lot from the Gigafactory - also as an
employer
.
The car factory should be ready this year.
And a corresponding number of people have already applied to Tesla.
The feedback so far?
Streaked
.
Tesla not (yet) there:
These are the 25 best employers in Germany.
Tesla as an employer: optimism in the country, criticism online
Much has been reported
about the
application process at Tesla
.
For example, which type of employee Elon Musk attaches great importance to.
Or with which tricky question the entrepreneur regularly catches his applicants on the wrong foot.
Of course, there have also been reports about the
alleged working conditions
at Tesla, but some of them differ greatly from one another: While one employee reports that Tesla employees have their own rules to escape Elon Musk's outbursts, another former employee explains how
he was impressed
by the way he led.
The truth?
Probably
somewhere in the middle,
as always
.
The facts are currently as follows: The Gigafactory near Berlin should be finished this year and Tesla is looking for
up to 12,000 employees
for its first expansion stage, which will run until 2022
.
The
Tagesschau
confirms employment agency spokeswoman Clarissa Matos Bernal that people from all over Germany are at least considering coming to Brandenburg to work for Tesla.
The euphoria in the region is great
, also due to the many former Brandenburgers who moved away due to structural weaknesses and are now considering returning.
One hopes, Bernal tells the
Tagesschau
, a
boost for the entire regional job market.
On the other hand, there are also
critical voices
.
In addition to the back and forth about the deforestation stop, more and more critical voices are now appearing on the Internet, especially about
Tesla as an employer
.
The
Kununu
review
portal
has received numerous complaints about Tesla.
The managers and HR managers are accused of communicating poorly, of
not appreciating the family private life of the employees
, and of simply being 'bad'.
Because the work has not even started production and
Kununu allows
completely anonymous comments, these reviews should of course be
treated
with caution
.
Also read:
Application: You should be prepared for these questions - otherwise it will be over quickly.
High expectations, anonymous criticism - and what is Tesla doing?
Lots of hustle and bustle around the Gigafactory.
Of course, the
German trade unions are also
taking a closer
look
.
IG Metall has already made an initial offer to talk to Elon Musk.
However, that was a year ago, and the visionary has
yet to
answer
.
The
Tagesschau
further reports that the
binding to a collective agreement
was not even discussed.
In the USA, German trade unionists noted with worry lines on their foreheads, for example, shortly before Christmas, Tesla employees were given a certain form of
short-time work
- but
without continued pay
.
It is now difficult to assess how justified the concerns are.
But one thing is certain: the Tesla factory in Germany will not be quiet for the time being.

Who do you consider yourself to be?
A-player or B-player: The application process already reveals a lot about the future employee.
