Pros

It’s an inclusive and honest environment. We attack problems head on, eyes wide open with a positive attitude. Effects of rapid growth are evaluated based not only on desired outcome but how to adequately ensure employees are treated well. Scaling at this rate is hard and presents challenges that I have not encountered in manufacturing. How we work as a team to approach those problems and encourage collaboration at all levels for solutions makes the challenge very rewarding. Pay and benefits are excellent. This is the most challenging and exciting work environment I have been a part of. The manufacturing associates and engineers are the best I have had the opportunity to work with in manufacturing.

Cons

At some engineering and management levels there can be periods where work-life balance can be challenging. Those scenarios are recognized and discussed.

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"
