Pros

POV from salaried employee: - Benefits and pay are very good - Flexibility in workplace - Working towards a goal that could change the world

Cons

- They are working extremely hard to meet a timeline so your personal time and obligations will go out the window unless you stand firm, otherwise they will take advantage - It's all down to good or poor management so make sure you are asking the right questions before you accept a job here - They are converting from startup to corporation so don't go in expecting a cheery startup environment - it's in flux - When it comes to promoting to management, it's a lot of times based on tenure and not if someone has to appropriate skills to manage people

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"
