Pros

I would say unlimited PTO, but you might not have your job back when returning from vacation. The company is growing rapidly so even if you exercise this perk, there are consequences. The perk is there to keep the company competitive.

Cons

If an issue arises and shared with your manager or HR, you will be retaliated on. This all depends if the person you are having a conflict with is favored. The company structure looks strong, but the people in it doesn't know what they're doing or do not have the backbone to stand up for themselves in fear of retaliation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. As I’m sure you’re aware, I joined as Chief People Officer at the end of 2019 with direction from RJ to ensure that our values not only consistently permeate the company, but that they also appropriately evolve as we scale. You’ve raised a very serious concern and we would like to have an opportunity to investigate. Though I can see you are a former employee, please reach out to anyone on the People team so that we may be able to learn more as I can assert that retaliation of any kind would never be knowingly tolerated here. Thank you in advance, Helen.

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
