Opportunity to build a one off and the first Hyperloop in the world. Allot of good people, just not in the correct position World changing concept Company lunch (a bit expensive) Team building events (costly for a start up) Compensation was good for hourly employees, salary was good but excessive hours. I am privileged to have been able to be involved in all aspects of building Devloop, training teams, working with engineers, teaching new engineers, working through construction issues, apart of build team,
