Pros

Great talented Faraday Future people. Great attempt to make an EV car for the mass public.

Cons

Lack of technical manufacturing leadership, a recruiter with no HR background runs the company. Onboarding friends in the company is NOT a way to run a business.

INDI EV Response
7y
This Designer left during a time when we were in transition and no longer works at IndiEV. We have been recruiting manufacturing leadership and have secured some very knowledgeable veterans in the EV Auto space. As to the comment on our HR, this is incorrect as our HR folks have over 30 years of combined experience both in HR and Recruitment. We also hire veterans in the EV space, who often feel like friends, but we hire only highly qualified talent especially since we run lean and mean. Start ups are not for everyone since we have to be scrappy and work at a fast pace but for the right candidate, they will thrive in our wonderful stimulating environment. Sometimes, however, the chemistry just doesn't work and that's ok. Best of luck to you (name withheld to protect feelings) but I know who you are. Go in peace.

Pros

I researched and heard not very encouraging or idyllic feedback about working at Independent Electric Vehicles prior accepting a contract. However, I am very rebellious and have learned to evaluate an environment for myself. I realized that the company had some growing pains as most startups do, but they are able to look ahead to the future and growth in the EV space. This is not a micromanaged workplace and management practices "service leadership management" which is refreshing. This is one of the few companies that actually encourage work/life balance. Working at Indiev you get a true sense that everyone is expected to pull their own weight and actually perform the work that they were hired to do as professionals. There is also a sense of openness and camaraderie among the teams and management in building the electric vehicle since the staff is not huge like other companies in the same niche. I enjoyed my time with the company and highly recommend anyone seeking a really awesome environment to check them out for yourself and tone out all the negative chatter/feedback.

Cons

Inaccurate feedback from past contractors or employees who were given multiple chances to succeed.
