Pros

Dynamic work place. Lots of different systems to work with and can be very hands on. Many of the people working here are hard workers and team players. The company has a clear future but is also flirting with not succeeding.

Cons

Sales are made whether a product exists or not and engineers are left to slap together something. Employees are not valued as they are typically discarded and replaced. No career advancements available with in the company. Every section of Proterra is understaffed..

Thank you for your feedback. This is an exciting time, with Proterra featuring new product launches and increased sales. The environment is very fast-paced and we move quickly to stay ahead of our competitors. Our employees are the biggest part of our success at Proterra and are valued. We apologize that you did not experience that during your tenure with the company. In more recent months, we have been putting in place a career-path progression program in Engineering and will be rolling out a larger program to the entire organization this Fall. We have also been successful in promoting individual contributors to first time management roles and continue to look for opportunities to grow our employees. Growth fuels opportunity of all kinds including personal growth.
