Pros

None. This place has the backing from china team which is actually doing some work. The strategic decisions are probably the worst in the bay area but is backed well by investors.

Cons

Highly dysfunctional leadership team. Very poor hiring strategy. Promotions are highly cronyism based and mainly for those who can talk/butter the management well.. Dont see this place succeeding at all.. May be the chinese company but definitely not this office..

We're disappointed to hear about your experience at NIO. We pride ourselves on having an open culture that encourages employees to come forward with any issues they are facing. As a start-up taking on one of the most challenging industries in two of the world's most important markets requires a level of communication, motivation, and leadership that can be difficult for some team members to achieve.

Pros

When i started at NIO 3yrs ago, My first few months i wanted to leave! only because i was not use to reporting to an individual that i had more experience and knowledge than for my position, Shortly after this person was let go, i was able to run my department the way it should be ran. Other than that, NIO is a great place, with great minds. NIO is a great place to work! Our cars are fabulous!!

Cons

Just like everywhere else, you have your ups and downs.
