Pros

I’ve had more ownership here than anywhere else. The problems are real, the work matters, and you can see the impact quickly. Teams are sharp and practical, and cross-functional work is the default, not a buzzword. Leadership is accessible, and if you bring a plan you’ll usually get support to run with it. It’s a good place for engineers who want to build, not just talk.

Cons

The pace is intense at times and the company is still scaling, so priorities can move and some processes are still getting tightened up. You need to be comfortable operating with ambiguity and staying organized when things change fast.

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"
