Pluspunten

good benefits, unlimited PTO (if you are willing to fight for it) , flexible hours , young engineers are truly talented and hard workers

Minpunten

CTO hiring his friends, not competent people, lack of automotive industry experience, lots of politics and unhealthy competition between teams, directors play along just to please their VPs but no proper management to their teams. CEO has no experience, he is just a brilliant mechanical engineer but can't run a company. plans are not realistic and company is over committing. no proper software testing is being done, no proper software processes are being carried out (although they claim they are agile). no one is willing to invest in you or put down a career path for you. no consideration for employees when moving to Palo Alto, the company only focus is on hiring new people but they don't mind current employees leaving

Pluspunten

- 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.

Minpunten

- 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
