Pros

There are a lot of amazing people that I get to work with every day.

Cons

Leadership: They do not know how to run a business. Employees are run to the ground - leadership comes once in a while to the Berkeley office, just to show up and sit together and not talk to anyone. Then, get pizza for everyone at the end of the day when people have families and lives and need to get home—very unapproachable and snooty attitudes unless you are in the in crowd.

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"
