Old timers are getting tired

Pros

Positive brand, media coverage Innovative product - would be game changer if successful Many smart and nice people - it's getting harder to filter out culturally unfit people now that we are hiring so many so fast

Cons

Calm before storm for employees who has been here 2+ years without getting bonuses or equity refreshers. There will be an exodus of a huge chunk of employee base if company doesn't do something about it soon. They keep delaying and pushing it off. Not sure how the company will motivate these old timers to stick around another 12 months until production when they know sh*t is gonna hit the fan pretty soon. The new people officer seems like she is doing a good job but nothing substantive has been delivered - everyone is waiting for their equity, especially after almost $6 billion investments.

Pros

The pay is market rate give or take?

Cons

This place embodies toxic positivity. If you’re a critical thinker who questions things and likes to dig deep, you will have that beat out of you. Don’t bother being an engineer, that isn’t valued it’s punished. Leadership all the way up the chain expects zero friction. If you question someone or express a negative outlook, you will be punished. They will gaslight you in to thinking everything great and you’re the problem even though they have not achieved a single goal they’ve set out to do.

Pros

If there’s any pro at all it’s that there’s a paycheck that you’ll never get a chance to spend.

Cons

Lied to about schedules and time off. There is ZERO family time. Production is the only thing that matters. 7 day schedules with all of them being 12+ hours a day with the promise of the next weekend off that never happens. Deceptive about hiring more people for night shifts. I was hired for day shift and I’m working a constant 7 day, 12 hour swing shift. Management is the biggest buffoons in the entire company. “People MUST volunteer for weekends or they will make it mandatory.” No future for people with a family here unless you’re a suck up to the CEO or VP.
