Pros

Tackling long-duration energy storage for decarbonization, employees feel they’re doing meaningful work. High talent density, especially in engineering and science. Good for people who like ambiguity and building from scratch. Well-funded with high-profile investors. Tech is novel, which gives a sense of working on something unique.

Cons

Expectations are high; urgency culture can burn people out. Salary is often below big-tech, equity upside uncertain.

Pros

Fast paced company trying to do something very challenging. Great place to learn and grow, but you must be self-driven and ok with rapidly changing dynamics.

Cons

Timelines are always too aggressive and never get hit. Demoralizing for the team.

Pros

Smart people passionate about green energy

Cons

1. Toxic management who expects you to work long hours and weekend while the pay is way below Bay Area normal 2. Most execs have very little experience in manufacturing or hardware development and only interested in saving their own job 3. People are leaving at an unprecedented rate, and management is unwilling to do anything because they know they can get away with it in this market 4. Managers will sent a company wide email saying the expectation is that we will work much longer hours to make this product work, and that those that don't are being "noticed"
