Pros

- Many talented and innovative engineers to learn from/ work with (engineers who like to create, not just execute) - Great vision - The sub-level engineering teams are passionate and care a lot about the product that they work on (Which made working with them very fun and exciting!) - Free lunch and snacks (pre-covid)

Cons

- Leadership treats employees unfairly -"Elevates" people into new roles and responsibilities but refuses to compensate people accordingly. Taking advantage of people who are excited for career development. An example would be that you could be an engineer moved to management track, receive title change but no compensation change. - HR is truly incompetent, I have never met an HR team so incompetent before in my career. I am specifically talking about HR management. HR is fake, pretends to care and listen but does not deliver. All talk, no walk. Thats what I've found amongst the rest of SJ leadership team as well. I would've stayed at NIO for a long time because I truly believe in their vision but unfortunately I couldn't stand the disrespect from the SJ Leadership team any longer. From the managing director all the way down to team directors, everyone was a huge disappointment and in the last year I was consistently let down every step of the way.

Pros

Free food. unlimited PTO. Good work life balance.

Cons

The entire VEDA platform is a total disaster. very few solid engineers(1 or 2). Some solid engineers are left. REST are crap. The so called "technical leaders/architects" are not technically strong. I don't even say they are mediocre.

Vision for US company unclear

Pros

* Intellectually challenging problems at the intersection of software, AI, hardware, mechanical systems. * Talented co-workers, but we lost quite a few over the past few months and may lose more if US office vision doesn't take shape. * Opportunity to capitalize on demand in *China* for electric vehicles. * The US team has accomplished some groundbreaking feats in the autonomous vehicle space.

Cons

The business model of the US company went through at least 3 iterations during the course of 1 year. As a result, many talented colleagues in various departments left because there was never a clear vision to execute on. There is little visibility into the roadmaps of different teams within the US office; silos indeed exist. How can we begin to execute effectively alongside our counterparts in China when we cannot even execute effectively within our own office?
