Pros

Almost complete autonomy to work in the way you wish and maintain work-life balance. Most open-minded, competent, transparent company I have ever worked at. Such a better goal (making cheap green fuels from renewable ocean energy) than most other SaaS startups.

Cons

Some people think this cult's delicious kool-aid tastes like sour grapes after they leave.

Pros

People are able to bite off as much as they would like to, while still having support from others on the team when needed. Does not promote a "not my problem" culture. High degrees of autonomy are possible. Well funded yet not image focused or trying to "look" like a cool startup (fancy building, etc). Mission driven and highly focused on being a significant part of the solution to the climate problem.

Cons

Company is still growing, so folks sometimes need to take on tasks outside of their domain. This can lead to a stretched feeling, but help is given when asked for and often leads to a new hire being brought in to prevent the person from being overstretched long term. New ideas that arise can swiftly adjust the course that engineering is taking. Not necessarily a con, but some can find it hard to rapidly change course, possibly abandoning what they've been working on if it is no longer needed or a better path has been found/needs to be explored.

Pros

Well funded, employees are mostly great.

Cons

Leadership micromanages and disregards employee expertise. The cofounders are inventors, not scientists, who prioritize dreams over physics, this also leads to chaos and indecision. They explicitly de-prioritize diversity and are subtly racist under the guise of a "green tech" startup.
