Friendly people, great mission, high % tech women, some growing pains

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- People are thoughtful about their work and use data to make decisions - Friendly coworkers are happy to answer questions - The fraction of technical women being notably higher than elsewhere has removed a lot of background stress from my work - Things can move fast, which means anything that's not working well can change (both in the product and organization) - Leadership leans into their humanity

Cons

- Fast pivots and fast growth means sometimes there are miscommunications and people are doing work on something that isn't valuable anymore and that doesn't feel good - Product is not yet mature enough to have confidence and trust in a baseline, which can be stressful - Many people work long hours, not because it's demanded, but because others around them are, so it takes some effort to hold work-hour boundaries.

Ambitious Company with an Exciting Opportunity

Business Outlook

Pros

- The company is in a great position to deliver a world-changing product - The people here are top-notch and do excellent work even despite high time pressure - Everyone I’ve met here has a sense of optimism about our ability to deliver on our commitments and is excited about that - The pace of progress here is much, much faster than my prior Fortune 500 employer, and it’s invigorating - There are very few young companies standing up brand new manufacturing operations in the US these days, and it’s awesome to be a part of a company that is

Cons

The company is moving from an R&D focus to a true manufacturing focus, and with that comes growing pains. I believe some people who were used to the R&D/small startup mentality don’t fully understand what this transition will require for us to be successful, which creates some tension and pessimism among certain folks. You can see this in some recent reviews.
