Pros

- Form has attracted and hired a ton of really talented people with the promise of doing something really world changing by delivering a energy storage technology that can change what we think of when we think batteries. - Over the last few years the company has taken advantage of several opportunities to accelerate technical development, and has cleared some fairly large technical hurdles. - That success allows many folks at the company to feel like we can deliver a really great product to the market soon enough to make an impact.

Cons

-Form has gone through several growing pains like any start up that hires over 600 people in two years. - The need to have several sites to each accomplish different activities has led to the need to reinvent what Form is every year to embrace that new wing of the company. - Form has a really large group of people who consider themselves leaders within the organization, and as a result there can be some jostling at the reigns as we race to market. - It has now become clear that Form really is a collection of different companies, holding itself together with the need to get a product into market but has not decided at the end of the day what our "product" really is.

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"
