Pros

Form Energy is one of the most innovative, rewarding, and driven companies. The people are some of the smartest I have worked with, and they pride themselves on Diversity and Inclusion. This is reflected by the dynamic teams and seriously motivated employees. They have outstanding benefits, compensation, and the CEO is proven. Like every startup, the values can shift in the execution phase. This can be accompanied by a demanding work environment, but the Managers recognize this and ensure support wherever they can.

Cons

The culture at Form Energy has recently shifted. Accountability is key, but it is apparent that leadership has not provided Managers with support to succeed on certain teams. -Some performance reviews do not provide clear actionable items -Trust amongst other teams has deteriorated due to misinformation -Certain leaders treat employees with contempt rather than positive reinforcement These traits are apparent as several employees have recently separated from the company. Form will succeed, but needs to build a culture unique to themselves to define who they are in the next phase of their success.

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"
