Pros

Free food if it counts

Cons

Way too many politics for a startup. Promotions were favoritism based and mainly for those who can talk. Hard work were never appreciated. All the teams are trying to hide information from each other. No cooperations at all. Every meeting became a blame game. Quite a few teams were hired for no reason, they didn't contribute at all!! Stock options were wasted on early bad hires, lots of good candidates didn't join because of uncompetitive offer.

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.
