Pros

You might end up learning a lot of things, but even that is a result of work being dumped on you, as you have no other option.

Cons

This company will destroy your mental health and your physical health. It will also make sure that you have got no life outside of work. They will assign you so much work that burnout would be the only possible outcome, which explains the extremely high turnover rate here. There are people leaving and being hired pretty much every week. All they care about is their nasty, unrealistic, inhumane deadlines that are impossible to accomplish unless you give your whole life and soul to the job. There is no training about the actual work either, and you're supposed to figure everything out on your own, while still meeting the weekly deadlines, all amidst a disorganized workplace.

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"
