HR is a Terror Here

Pros

If you want to work hard and like freedom and you are a self starter, work with smart people and cutting edge tech, generally a good place to be.

Cons

Group by group, you could have a great team and manager or work in a toxic env. The company has just been stumbling over and over at the executive and management levels and burning a lot of cash. - I am a very high performer and built and led a high performing team in an innovative group, but HR is ruthless regarding issues - It’s gonna be a long ramp to profitability, don’t expect that stock price to move much anytime soon - Leadership coaching is sub par and zero tolerance for issues - Disorganized executive management working with less and less - Layoffs coming, inevitable, my own opinion - Lots of shifts in focus and hiring, had to get reapprovals 4 times in a year for open roles and ultimately hiring is now mostly frozen - The company just doesn’t have the resources to recover from the push for prod launch and now with the difficult financial env, not looking good - I was there almost 2 years, it’s just a grind now with a tightening of the belt - Incredibly disorganized production assembly line, constant reorganizations - Tons of leadership reorganizations across the company - I resigned after wrestling with HR and feeling demoralized by the lack of support

Slowly sinking ship

Pros

Comp and benefits are okay.

Cons

Poor communication, lack long term strategy, no w/l balance. Just a toxic place prioritizing business over humanity. Company values are simply performative and marketing.

Not a place to work if you have a family

Pros

Pay is nice, good benefits, CEO is very hands on and kind.

Cons

You never see your family, working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week, they blame it on it being a "start up company" when they are past that stage and in production of their vehicles. You will work those 70-80 hour weeks, just to come home and pass out because you are left with no energy. For your paid sick days, you are given 10 days in a year, they do not adjust or account for forced overtime. You are required to use 12 hours of your time, out of your 80 hours, while the rest of the plant gets to use their full 10 days. They tell you when you are hired that it will be awesome, you'll get super hyped and then they will drain you dry till you have nothing left to give. They are extremely inconsistent, between start times, and supervisors, things are constantly changing, no one can make up their minds and it causes a lot of conflict. Their version of HR is a joke, any concerns or complaints submitted to management are ignored, and you never hear back, almost like they are trained to avoid employees.
