Pros

The engineering staff is competent, and the CEO and co founders are solid.

Cons

* Terrible management team below the Sr levels * Director level managers are the least competent in silicon valley. Lack even basic knowledge of complex systems, engineering or even physics. * Non-data driven decision making. * Invention, patents and technology advancement is avoided. No concept of innovation * Every department is run differently with no continuity * Extremely high turnover rate * No mentoring of younger staff * Busy work and data entry is best way to describe culture. * No new product development plan. * Common quote at team meetings "If you don't like it here, there is the door" * Far and away the worst place I have worked in 30 year career

Going Downhill Really Fast

Pros

I am trying to gather my thoughts and there is nothing positive about the company as a whole. The team that I am under and report to, have their employees best interest at hand. They listen, are empathetic and support teams solutions when issues arise. ChargePoint used to be a great company to work for until they removed the original executive staff and brought on the current executive staff. That's when everything went downhill.

Cons

Seems like the Chief Revenue Officer calls the shots and runs the company not the CEO. ChargePoint went public and hired way too fast and way too many people. They also acquired 2 companies and no one knows what they do or how they contribute to the company. Wasteful spending is one of the reasons the company is failing, running out of cash and borrowing. ChargePoint had an amazing culture, we used to have nerf wars on Fridays for the employees to unwind, recognize monthly birthdays and work anniversaries, celebrate cultures, have potlucks and support organizations during the holidays. When the new executive team came on board, all of that went away. The culture is horrible. If you want to grind all day with no appreciation, then ChargePoint is the place for you. ChargePoint went through 2 layoffs this year and the executive didn't seem to care. It was business as usual. The CFO said in a townhall that it hurts the executive team more to layoff than the person being laid off. That was a callous statement and goes to show you how they really feel. The executive team makes hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions. They have a ton of company stock. So if anything happened to them, they are fine. It's the employees who grind all day that is truly impacted and don't have millions of dollars to sustain them.

Pros

This was a good job. We used to have good cleaning products to mop the floors with. Now they just want us to use hot water.

Cons

I was hired to mop the floors, empty waste baskets, vacuum, scrub toilets. Now they want me to work each task like it’s a ticket? I have to leave notes describing everything I did. I can’t clean. I told my manager who oversees all cleaning that I am spending all day writing what I did, and I barely got a crumb off the floor! I said “why can’t I just clean?” And they said it is because they need data…data… I heard that they are going to hire engineers overseas to remotely control one of those vacuums that moves on its own.
