ChargePoint Reviews

Pros

I have truly enjoyed my experience in ChargePoint. The company fosters a good culture and offers good growth opportunities to its employees. Additionally, the company very transparent with its employees on the status of product and sales etc, supports town hall events and a woman's initiative, and supports various other professional development opportunities for its employees.

Cons

Even though it is an established "start up" , the company is spread a little thin, and I find that I do struggle with work life balance at times. Management is aware and there is always a strive to maintain the culture that ChargePoint adheres.

Pros

Exciting company with great products, people, and a promising future

Cons

The company is growing very quickly, but such challenges are natural

Pros

Solid benefits (free EV charging, snacks and catered events)

Cons

Rigid work schedule and few opportunities for promotion

Pros

Working at ChargePoint provides a rare opportunity to become immersed in the transformation of transportation as the world moves to electric mobility. Employees are passionate about the “cause” and generally fun to work with. ChargePoint quickly becomes your extended family who lift you up in both good times and bad. You will never be bored. The industry is evolving rapidly and since the company is paving the way,... there is a tremendous opportunity to learn.

Cons

On the other hand, there are minimal opportunities for career or salary growth. Some top performing employees have been at the company for years without a promotion or raise. If you have short term financial goals that require a steady growth in compensation or regular bonuses, then this is not the place for you. Some executives do not know how to leverage their employees talents, provide no guidance on... development, and avoid any discussion about an employee’s desired career path. As a result, a growing number of employees are starting to question if they have a future at ChargePoint and leaving for more lucrative opportunities.

Advice to Management

Train, train and continue to train your executive staff about how to develop employees, minimize unconscious bias and give constructive (not critical or personal!) feedback. Be transparent about how you are measuring performance and how you will compensate individuals for their hard work and dedication. Save the culture that made ChargePoint a great place to work before it’s too late.

Pros

People are very helpful. The food is free, Unlimited PTOs. Great place to use your skills and learn more. No problem with work-life balance till now ;)

Cons

I do get a feeling that they lack enough number of people. That's why I guess they are now hiring more.

Advice to Management

You guys are pretty friendly, please don't change!

Pros

Great industry to be in and you get to wake up and come to work with a chance to make a difference.

Cons

The execs need to lead instead of micromanage. This is like an enterprise without enterprise level resources. There is a lot of gossiping going on at work. Some teams have a toxic work environment. The company expects all employees to work nights and weekends and don’t support new dads or moms. There is no work from home option either. Everyone is asked to do things outside of the scope of their roles without... acknowledgement.

Advice to Management

Rely on your employees more, don’t delay decisions and leadership PLEASE take some responsibility for your inaction.

Pros

Dog friendly, Contributing to the greater good of our planet

Cons

The company is growing really fast

Pros

Great people. Great technology (hardware and cloud services). Well financed (recently raised $240M). Pre-IPO company. Amazing industry - Growing rapidly. Company cares about its people. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley

Cons

If you come here, you will work hard. That is not really negative, but it is a reality.

Advice to Management

Keep bringing on great people.
