Org that has been a light in the forest for clean transportation is now THE place to be in a hot field

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Unparalleled capability and relationships for working on EVs and clean transportation industry in the field Truly mission-focused driven; holds itself accountable to results Committed to increasing diversity a few years ago and has made significant progress at board and staff level HR director is great! Really. She has nearly remade the organization’s culture in year Organization is growing. After being one of a few loud voices on EVs for 25 years, the org is now finding itself in serious demand

Cons

Still has some ways go to to integrate equity and inclusion into the mission and operations Parental leave / flexibility policies are not yet up to modern standard for a progressive, tech-oriented, mission-driven org...though some staff have negotiated leave arrangements individually

Thank you for your thoughts, we really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. As for our updated policies, our new handbook is in the final stages. Parental leave and many other practices are being revised and updated. So look forward to that! I am also looking forward to seeing equity expand (internally AND) externally. Hopefully, we can retain great people like you who will continue to push us forward.
