Pros: Work in the EV industry.

Cons: Hours Comp Stock Leadership RTO

Pros: Work-life balance is okay as an Engineer.

Cons: Salary is peanuts. Stocks are doing worse.

Pros: Great mission, cool product, stable backing. If you like collecting a paycheck without having to contribute, this might be the place for you.

Cons: Everything. This company is 10+ years behind on technology. If you expect to work on cutting-edge tech, this is not the company for you. Their desire to protect their trade secrets creates a culture of siloed knowledge and fragmented tech stacks. The IT department is probably the worst that I've had the displeasure of working with. The company suffers from all the problems of a giant corporation and a tiny startup, with none of the benefits of either. If you dig through their LinkedIn, you'll find that a large portion of their employees are people who washed out of Tesla. Trying to quit was like trying to cancel a cable TV subscription. It is really bad when there is a team of people dedicated specifically to trying to talk you out of leaving. Really disappointing.
