10 years is fantastic! Thank you for dedicating your time and for the feedback. As we grow, so do our projects and programs. In our culture of "getting it done" we sometimes put our heads down and do just that which can cause silos. Breaking them down is something that leadership at CALSTART is serious about as we continue to grow.

Great mission to advance clean and new technology vehicles and very mission dedicated employees

Cons

CEO thinks he owns the non-profit and dismisses valid feedback from employees CEO keeps getting paid more while others are left behind despite their contributions Selective enforcement of company rules You'll hear when you did something the CEO didn't like, but don't wait for a compliment.
