Pros

Company is Mission Driven || Cool Products

Cons

Was never clear exactly what my responsibilities were and what authority I had || Super unclear who made what decisions, resulting in a challenging environment to make any progress || A lot of strong, unpleasant personalities, in a very unsupportive environment || Company had delusional (unachievable) product and growth ambitions, resulting in an environment of overpromising and underdelivering This was the worst place I've ever worked in my 25 year career.

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
