Pros

I've been at NIO for approximately 6 months and am enjoying my role here. I left my other job at a larger, well known tech company in the Valley because I wanted a change of pace and this has certainly been one. We are able to still move quickly without micro management, and thinking outside of the box is encouraged. One of my favorite parts of the work day is sitting with different teams at lunch and talking about where we are going and where we came from.

Cons

They are still working on getting processes in place because the company is growing so fast.
