Pros
- The technology is interesting and potentially environmentally beneficial. - Mostly interesting and friendly coworkers (and some jerks). - Decent pay and benefits.
Cons
- Zero tolerance for even the smallest mistakes - Bad work/life balance for some roles. Expect 15 hour days and working on weekends frequently for any technical role - Deceivingly altruistic. In reality, there is a low emphasis on diversity and inclusion. The vast majority of turnover (either firings or layoffs) consists of marginalized racial/ethnic identities and women. - Cliquey culture and the management is sociopathic and unempathetic. - Anti-intellectual atmosphere. The company culture rewards yes-men and dislikes critical thinkers or anyone that seems too self-directed. - Greenwashing. This company is heavily bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry, which creates a disingenuous, awkward, and uninspiring atmosphere. - Socially problematic. The technology is dangerous and inefficient and could even make climate change worse if not properly implemented.
