Pros

- Fast paced - Lots of stretch and growth opportunities to learn and mature your career - Opportunities to stamp your mark and have impact on deliverables - Work alongside strong and experienced colleagues - Great Leadership, starting with CEO downward. RJ will never ask something to be done without being willing to do it himself, beside you. - Fun and exciting work culture and environment

Cons

- Fast expanding company means growing pains like any other business as expected. - Tons of experienced employees, which also yield strong minds that can be challenging at times to partner - Too many hoops and hurdles to receive leadership approval, creates bottlenecks in daily work

Pros

Working here is inspiring - it’s great getting to work on products that are exciting and that I can’t wait to see on the roads. But for me, even more important than the products is the company's focus on building a culture that makes it a great environment to be a part of. Leadership 'walks the talk' and makes tough and sometimes unpopular decisions but I genuinely feel they're for the good of the company. The CEO and leadership team are approachable and this openness has helped create a culture that is inviting and collaborative.

Cons

Mentioned above, but there are growing pains associated with a business that is growing so quickly. I have seen the company go from ~750 people to more than 2000 and this means there have been bad hires, broken processes and communication gaps. I feel leadership either works to fix these issues (as I mentioned above) or is actively working to address them now.

Pros

Company overall vision is very strong; people are treated with the utmost care and decisions are always made with health and welfare in mind; I love the energy of the leadership, the incredible workforce and knowledge base that has been assembled. I feel genuine desire to make change here.

Cons

We're pretty spread out with locations currently. Meshing a culture between tech and manufacturing is a challenging fit at times (one is very forward-focused and the other tends to do what is known to work). Newer and growing companies tend to have more pains of establishment.
