Form Energy reviews

Management, led by COO Ted Wiley, a founder, creates an authoritarian and fear-based culture. Employees are often made to feel on edge and threatened with layoffs/termination if they speak up or express concerns. Nepotism and Unqualified Hires: COO consistently hires friends and family of friends, many of whom lack basic technical skills (e.g., email, spreadsheets), yet no efforts are made to train them. Excessive, Inefficient Reporting: There’s an overwhelming amount of reporting, which is both excessive and inefficient, adding stress without improving productivity. Unfair Treatment of Employees: There is a high turnover rate, and layoffs typically target those who voice concerns or attempt to improve the workplace. Multiple positions that were "eliminated" are listed as open, showing a lack of leadership and adherence to best HR practices like Performance Improvement Plans (PIP). This makes it clear that the company does not handle staffing or terminations ethically.

Please understand what you are signing up for before you interview or accept a job offer. Cons: immature management, poor work/life boundaries, toxic work culture, rushed decisions, lack of transparency and accountability from leadership, constant changing expectations, high turnover
