Pros

It feels good to spend my time working on something that should make a really positive impact on the world and this continues to be motivating year over year. Teammates are great. There's also a ton of demand for our product, so getting our first product out the door makes me optimistic and excited about the company's success. I'm surprised seeing so many negative comments here about leadership because that has not been my experience (as a mid level employee) at all. I find exec (C level) leadership to be experienced and transparent, very good about explaining the "why" behind project pivots. I've also found leadership at all levels to be very approachable, including when employees are expressing concerns. Our exec team's leadership style is one of the main reasons I've stayed at the company for so long.

Cons

Salaries are not as competitive as they need to be to keep great people here.

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"
