Pros

Fair salaries, good health care

Cons

Completely toxic environment. Management is made entirely of people with no leadership or communication skills. Not only is management unsupportive, they are outright hostile and do everything they can to blame and discourage their employees. The culture is SO negative, and preys on people’s passion for sustainability by forcing everyone to hold unrealistic work hours (regular 10 to 12 hour days, and slack messages throughout the night that you’re expected to respond to). The product doesn’t work, and the C suite and management take it out on their hard working employees. Please save yourself the stress and do not work here; if I could go back in time I would have never accepted the job offer

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"
