Pros

Fascinating work, great co-workers, fantastic managers. If you put in hard work, you'll see the fruits of your labor in the real world pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle and grid battery technology.

Cons

Lower pay compared to Google, FB, etc. There's also very limiting food options nearby and no food at headquarters other than cereal.

Pros

A great place to be able to showcase what you can bring, new ideas and ways of doing things are always received well and appreciated. A solid group of people who are very passionate about what they do, some slightly too much! A great basic salary for the industry which leads to a general sense of working together rather than simply commission based pushy methods etc. A very strong and exciting future ahead and it feels great working for a company that seems to honestly care about making a change to our planet and species. We do actually want to make a difference. Our future looking way of working along with our innovation brings a great potential for personal gain too.

Cons

They expect a lot of hours and personal time to be used for working out of the office. For people who enjoy what they do, this is not much of an issue but it can sometimes be overwhelming to have a day off where you spend 40% of the time on your laptop or phone. The company is trying to be new in as many ways as possible, this means that some processes are not yet fool proof or even any good! Can be frustrating to see good people wasted due to inefficient promoting of good staff, we have lost good people due to this.
