SAN FRANCISCO: Tesla Inc’s 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. Employer branding specialist Universum ranked Tesla and sister company SpaceX as the most attractive employers for engineering students. Tesla had 48,817 full-time employees at the end of 2018, according to SEC filings, after a 9% headcount reduction throughout the company announced in June 2018. Tesla has 1,100 jobs posted on its website, down from 2,510 in January, according to statistics provided by job-post scraping site Thinknum. Tesla said job postings differ from jobs open, as one posting could represent multiple openings.
