Great place to work
Senior Mechanical Engineer • Current Employee
Costa Mesa, California, United States
October 26, 2024
Pros: It's the best place I've ever worked. People are overwhelmingly positive. The work is interesting. It seems like there's always something new happening. You largely get to define your role, as managers are very hands-off. The food is great and free.
Cons: It's a lot and pressure is high, so there can be conflict due to that.
We're moving fast and processes are not well defined.
We've hired so quickly that knowing who to talk to and what has been done is difficult.
