Working here is inspiring. It's great getting to work on products that are exciting and that I can't wait to see on the roads.

But for me, even more important than the products is the company's focus on building a culture that makes it a great environment to be a part of.

Leadership 'walks the talk' and makes tough and sometimes unpopular decisions, but I genuinely feel they're for the good of the company. The CEO and leadership team are approachable, and this openness has helped create a culture that is inviting and collaborative.

Mentioned above, but there are growing pains associated with a business that is growing so quickly. I have seen the company go from ~750 people to more than 2000, and this means there have been bad hires, broken processes, and communication gaps. I feel leadership either works to fix these issues (as I mentioned above) or is actively working to address them now.

Keep listening to the team and focusing on culture.
