Pros

Test driving fast very trucks

Cons

You will not have a life outside of work. If you love your family do NOT take a job here. They will never see you. They force 12 hours a day 6 days a week and the only reason it’s only 6 days is because the state of Illinois forced them to give you at least one day off a week. They will hire new people in making significantly more money than you (6-10 dollars an hour) to do the exact same job as you and expect you to train them. The management has no idea how to run a factory or what they are doing. Things change by the hour because no one can make a decision. If you bring any of this up to HR ( or people partners as they call them) you will get told we don’t know the answer to any of your questions and will keep telling you that for months hoping you will forget about it.

Pros

- Great exposure to the product - Amazing teammates, boots on the ground collaboration - Onboarding is really well done - they take this part seriously and I appreciate that.

Cons

- Limited growth - Constantly worried whether your department is getting laid off. - I've worked at plenty of other startups and EV companies and this one is by far the worst. - Zero job security unless you're JR
