Pros

The company was clearly built with a good foundation. It sounds like there was strong upheld values, focus around process and doing things the right way, and a strong technical product foundation. But from chatting with teammates things seemed to change about 7-8 months ago and have only nose dived in the last two months.

Cons

Multiple employees have quit in the last year due to working conditions. Program schedules are compressing. Validation testing is being pushed to the back burner. The company is hiring on fast and throwing new hires onto unstaffed items with no time to onboard and properly learn about the company/technology.

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"
