Pros

- Pay is excellent - + 4 hours Paid time off every two weeks - 40 hours unplanned time off per year - clean, modern, well kept facility throughout. - some departments are perfect for introverted workers -Good plans for benefits ( paid tuition (if your major correlates to your job) after a year, paid maternal + paternal leave, paid military leave.

Cons

-food selection during night shift does not come close to food selection during day shift. -No pay during lunch plus the cafeteria profits off the workers. Even more so after they raised prices a year ago. -You may get lucky with your team and group lead, but it seems they all get constant complaints for weird reasons from upper management. Some group leads take it out on their team members. Some don't, so be wary of this and if you notice ask for department transfer asap.

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
