Pros
Compelling Business Model:On the surface, the integrated "design, build, operate, and finance" model for EV and storage solutions is innovative and attracted many talented, mission-driven professionals. - Initial Allure:The company projects an image of being at the forefront of the energy transition, which can be motivating upon joining.
Cons
Chaos by Design, Not Growth: Leadership openly described the environment as "chaos" from the start. I discovered this was not typical start-up growing pains, but a permanent state resulting from a fundamental lack of strategic vision and competent operational planning. Resources were perpetually misaligned with the ambitious business model. - Misaligned Core Priority:Despite the marketed mission, the company's actual engine is asset financing. All other functions (engineering, operations, etc.) are treated as cost centers or marketing accessories to facilitate deals, not as core value drivers. This leads to chronic underinvestment and improper setup in these teams and disregard for their expertise.a few clients sensed this already and started turning away from the company - Toxic Culture & Talent Exodus:This disconnect drives away competent, ethical managers. The result is a managerial layer comprised largely of individuals who prioritize compliance “bending over” over leadership. I witnessed a mass exodus of talented personnel across multiple departments. 2025, attrition remained critically high, with many new hires leaving within months due to cultural shock. - Reckless & Incompetent Resourcing: Strategic planning is virtually nonexistent. The company has a repeated pattern of hiring for roles only to make them redundant within a year, demonstrating a profound lack of competency in forecasting and organizational design. This wastes significant talent and creates perpetual instability. - People Are Expendable: The company's implicit motto appears to be "chase the next dollar, people last." Employee well-being, career development, and institutional knowledge are routinely sacrificed for short-term financial maneuvers.
