Pros

The other employees are lovely.

Cons

THE MOST toxic work environment created by senior leadership. They will expect you to do the job of 2 or more people. But don't expect to get any recognition for putting everything you have into your job. Once you give everything you have until you're a hollow shell of a person with nothing left to give, they will just remove you. Its a startup so expect the periodic cull. No job is safe.

Pros

* The company is focused on tech for the renewable energy sector - for me, it's a motivating mission and it's great that it actually influences company decisions. * The people that work here are great - friendly, intelligent and thoughtful. I genuinely enjoy working with them. * The problems we're working on are interesting, and there's opportunity for creative solutions. * The pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Scale-up life can be hard sometimes, particularly with changes of direction and processes that aren't quite right yet. The size of the company means meaningful promotions can be hard to achieve. Hopefully as the company keeps growing, this will get easier.

Cons

- Always seem to be trying to do just a little bit more than we can - Some scaling pains & shifting priorities
