INDI EV Response

This is obviously a former employee that didn't work out. The statement is false about the majority of the employees being from FF. It's true that a handful of people who left FF came to IndiEV but we have more from other fine companies like Tesla, GM, Ford, Mazda, Nio, SF Motors, Karma, Kia, Hyundai, and etc. Also, we don't recruit friends but when you have worked with someone for a long time at differing companies, you naturally tend to form a friendship/working relationship with excellent people. People like to work with former employees who are proven - these people are often referred as "employee referrals" who are the best types of hires. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but like I've always said, "Chemistry is either there or it's not" and its not right or wrong, but it just is what it is. Peace to you and we wish you success at another perhaps more established, non start-up which might be a better fit.

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.
