Pros

Pay rate (with overtime) Health, dental, and vision insurance is very low cost

Cons

Micromanagement constantly No sitting at all unless you can get a dr note No cell phone use (but also your phone is your work device so not sure why that is) You will be standing around doing nothing a lot because line is down a lot but they still expect you to act like your busy so investors touring plant think we’re doing better than we actually are as far as production Not confident this place will exist in even 2 years so job security is nonexistent Battery area is insanely high risk (batteries go thermal at least once a month and every time that happens it’s like of like a bomb going off in your face)

Pros

- Great exposure to the product - Amazing teammates, boots on the ground collaboration - Onboarding is really well done - they take this part seriously and I appreciate that.

Cons

- Limited growth - Constantly worried whether your department is getting laid off. - I've worked at plenty of other startups and EV companies and this one is by far the worst. - Zero job security unless you're JR
