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"

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

- Great teammates on the floor - The product is very cool and important if it ever takes off. - Good place to work short term to learn some new skills

Cons

- Pay is not very competitive with those of us who live in PA - High turnover in management causes lack of promotions/ low morale - As a technician you don't get to write your own review so nobody will know all the projects you worked on throughout the year and the job isn't well scoped so you end up doing a lot of extra work with no recognition for it. - Design team doesn't seem to make an effort to fix issues from previous builds, we tend to repeat the same mistakes. - Deadlines are too aggressive - we hardly ever meet them.
