Pros

It feels good to spend my time working on something that should make a really positive impact on the world and this continues to be motivating year over year. Teammates are great. There's also a ton of demand for our product, so getting our first product out the door makes me optimistic and excited about the company's success. I'm surprised seeing so many negative comments here about leadership because that has not been my experience (as a mid level employee) at all. I find exec (C level) leadership to be experienced and transparent, very good about explaining the "why" behind project pivots. I've also found leadership at all levels to be very approachable, including when employees are expressing concerns. Our exec team's leadership style is one of the main reasons I've stayed at the company for so long.

Cons

Salaries are not as competitive as they need to be to keep great people here.

Pros

Tackling long-duration energy storage for decarbonization, employees feel they’re doing meaningful work. High talent density, especially in engineering and science. Good for people who like ambiguity and building from scratch. Well-funded with high-profile investors. Tech is novel, which gives a sense of working on something unique.

Cons

Expectations are high; urgency culture can burn people out. Salary is often below big-tech, equity upside uncertain.

Pros

Pay is decent for area.

Cons

No accountability for wasting money on equipment that never gets used or never meets intent. Engineering staff is over inflated with under-performers not being held accountable, and often promoted. Too many design changes to manage or validate. Turnover is high across the board. Process development mindset is to deal with it instead of solve it.
