      Pros

      Not much to say when you lay off an exceptional employee! I worked my tail off, did whatever it took to get job done! I supported several Engineers and they laid me off and kept inexperienced people! Money problems won’t go away when you are going to have to rework what has already been processed due to the unexperienced employees that are still there!

      Cons

      Favoristism Quality isn’t on the top ten list Unqualified people remain employed Shady people in Eng/Ops teams

      Pros

      A lot of activity when you are there. The vehicles are fun to drive if you get a chance.

      Cons

      Horrible management overall. Very few know cars and it shows. High attrition+new managers trying to be Elon+Elon telling everyone to be a leader means that everyone bickers and snipes one another. Terribly toxic and depressing. The company did not care about us and it felt cult-like. They call it 'Stressla' internally for good reason. Pay is about 65% of market and you watch tons of good people never hired and continue working many late days as 'contractors'.

      Pros

      They give nice health care

      Cons

      I should have trusted my gut when I read these reviews and I shouldn't have made excuses for why it would be okay despite what I read. If I had researched the company better before starting, I wouldn't be in the mess I am in today.
