Pros

If you like a fast paced work environment, this is the place for you. There are tons of opportunities to work your butt off and advance. Additionally, people will notice and give you more opportunities. Salary is fair; insurance is good; commuter benefits are good. Executive team is competent and I like the direction the business is heading, as a whole.

Cons

It is easy to overwork yourself and get burned out. If you're capable and a new problem comes up, you may get drowned with work quickly. It's important to know when to say no. No 401k matching at this time, although I've heard they want to change it in the future. Culture can differ across sites. None of it is bad, per se, but each location definitely works best for a particular mindset and workflow. Executive team sometimes puts their foot in their mouth. It's becoming more apparent the gap between higher and lower levels, which can leave a bad taste if not handled respectfully.

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"
