Vantaggi
None. Except the “Unlimited PTO”, which is really used by executives to disappear every other week and not have to call it an “off-site”
Svantaggi
No direction, no money, no product, and now no employees after the third mass layoff in one year.
The only thing left are managers, lawyers, and the finance team trying to find the next “best shareholder solution” scheme to keep the place going. This company is a shell of what it used to be. The C-suite is full of non-technical, inexperienced narcissists who defaulted into their titles and seem to exist only to protect their salaries. Not a single employee respects the executive team, and they should be ashamed of what they have done.
The stock is in the fiery pits of hell, driven there by a lawyer interim-CEO and strategy officer whose only visible strategy has been putting employees on the street and calling it leadership. The tech is flawed, and the Energy Base product they pumped for a year was a farce that has now been internally abandoned.
Now the company is pivoting to become a sodium-ion technology supplier. Another “strategy,” another nonexistent product change, and once again no real product or personnel left to execute it. They fired nearly all engineering this month, along with anyone else who still had a clue.
Poetically, this round of firings came around the one-year anniversary of the company previously firing most of the workforce, putting employees on indefinite furlough to avoid paying severance, bringing back a handful, and then firing people yet again.
Employees got screwed over again while executives protected themselves again. I am disgusted with myself for putting up with this executive cash grab as long as I did, sitting through off-sites and quarterly meetings pretending any of this was normal.
No product. No trust. No morale. No accountability. Just another selfish narcissistic title-only executives who sure love milking it dry.
