Pros

Yotta Energy has managed to hire and retain some really exceptional people. I have been working in the solar and critical infrastructure industries for most of my (admittedly brief) career, and the combination of technologies that Yotta brings to market is a clear evolution in terms of both scalability and thermal performance. Yotta's mission aligns with my values, and there is a clear commitment to advancing that mission. There is no bureaucracy in the engineering department. We all work very closely with the CTO and collaborate cross-functionally on a regular basis. Team sizes are small and efficient.

Cons

The office feels a bit misplaced, but there's a flexible remote work policy and our building admin is very responsive.

Pros

Most of the Engineers are great people, and a pleasure to work with. Cool product with lots of potential.

Cons

In my brief time there several of the senior level employees jumped ship (in both Manufacturing and Engineering depts). The pay is below market so that's one reason. So far, there seems to be no plan to replace these people. The "solution" is to try and replace them with current low/mid level employees, or to hire cheap new grads / offshore teams. Neither of these approaches fill the gaps and it shows. In addition, both teams are understaffed in general. For example, at the time of this review they literally have one test Engineer.
