First I wanna talk about,Tesla apparently is a hot spot for young job seekers.This, first off, coming from The Wall Street Journal is interesting.But also I was pretty shocked by this.So the story is despite long hours and a frenetic pace, a job at Elon Musk's electric car company is a career breaker many idealistic engineers find impossible to pass up.So Tesla received more job and internship applications than any other company on Handshake,a student career services app in 2016 to 2017 academic year.
In 2017 to 2018 it was only narrowly beat out by JPM organ Chase, not sure where that's going but okay.Seems to be a lot of young people who want demanding,well paid career that also fulfills their idealism.Kind of the concept of, you know, when you in vest investing with a conscience kind of thing where you want to be working on something.As someone I'm right on the cusp of that millennial generation, I certainly have made career choices that were aimed at something that I believed in,something that wasn't just a means to an end.And so it seems, you know, to be that's likely one of the big reasons why Tesla's getting so many people applying.
So they're recruiting a lot from the top engineering schools like Worcester, Polytechnic Institute and Carnegie Mellon, and not just the Ivy Leagues.As well as, you know, I also interviewed a lot of fol ks that obviously worked in, previously worked in a lot of the big tech companies,you don't necessarily have to even have a college degree if you're really good at what you do.Some of the things Tesla's obviously recruiting for require kind of a really deep education around some of the engineering stuff,but if you're on the software side it's one of those things where you can really kind of pave your own way just by showing what you can do in the open source world as well as just online and all that.
So really interesting stuff, I hope this means again that Tesla continues to innovate and increase that innovation because that truly is what matters.On Glass door which is a site where people review companies,you see that they have a 3.4 rating which isn't great.Everyone I know that talked about Glass door though says that you kind of have to pet their ego a little bit in order to get a high rating,that's why, you know, it's very few times that people actually get to be the top employer despite having tremendous reviews and stuff like a Facebook or Google or one of those.
Now one of things about something like Glass door,so if you're a young engineer looking to get into this and you see that you go oh.Know that a very large percentage of the people that work at Tesla are kind of in the blue collar space,they're in manufacturing, they're turning dials, right,they're cranking stuff out.It's a very purpose filled work but it's not like being at one of these silicon valley start ups.Tesla is kind of software side are, you know,they are very much in the get it done mentality.You know much more like a Netflix than a Facebook or a Google with these kind of lavish opulence in terms of like restaurants and free food and all that.
So Tesla is a place, seems to be where you wanna go to make a difference and I think that's great.You know, personally that's why I'm here,that's why I do this, is because I wanna share what we find by looking at the data about this company and others that are really trying to move us towards a better future.So let me know what you guys think about that in the comments, I'm curious if anyone here has applied to Tesla, what they're experience was like.Let me know in the comments there down below.
