Pros

Engineers are capable. Good life/work balance. You can basically do whatever you want without consequence.

Cons

The business side is mostly chaos and most of senior management doesn’t have the experience and/or common sense to run, let alone lead a company. A lot of nepotism, politics and no communication. Highly toxic company culture. The company has no $$$ and diluted stock shares.

Pros

Opportunity to build a one off and the first Hyperloop in the world. Allot of good people, just not in the correct position World changing concept Company lunch (a bit expensive) Team building events (costly for a start up) Compensation was good for hourly employees, salary was good but excessive hours. I am privileged to have been able to be involved in all aspects of building Devloop, training teams, working with engineers, teaching new engineers, working through construction issues, apart of build team,

Cons

•To much space x culture •No advancement •Company places high value on a degree vs job expirence, which cost us Devloop deadline and millions. •Poor communication •Company growing pains •Lots of meetings and talk, slow to act, months / years •Lessons learned cost thousands just to tell us what we already knew, •Reactive company •Inexpirenced Safety Managers she is reactive, her strength is more procedural safety vs operational which slow progress •Former HR director runs company (voiced concerns from vast amounts t of employees) •Clicks •Racist remarks covered up and then reactive training set up (Apex) •employees told by managers to do busy work be invisible or hide for over a year •Seperate rules for certain employees, reactive training to cover / attempt to repair. •fake it till we make it vs fix the problems •I worked 70+ hours for over a year at a salary, •95% of the team that built the test track was apart of the RIF
