Pros

Genuinely great coworkers to work with. Employees there are happy to show you what they are doing Co workers are easy to get along with in the office since everyone is new.

Cons

Poor people management by managers, they say something and mean another Overtime is not given even though people are coming at you at all hours of the day, CEO has emailed the entire company around midnight. Poor work-life balance.

Pros

- Great exposure to the product - Amazing teammates, boots on the ground collaboration - Onboarding is really well done - they take this part seriously and I appreciate that.

Cons

- Limited growth - Constantly worried whether your department is getting laid off. - I've worked at plenty of other startups and EV companies and this one is by far the worst. - Zero job security unless you're JR
