Pros

Started with a great vision

Cons

Poor execution Poor management All negative reviews are correct. Notice how HR only replies to 5 star reviews? This place is where dreams go to die. Very grim. It’s a cemetery where investor money is first lit on fire then buried. They are also having money issues given all they have squandered on highly paid incompetent managers. Just read the rest of the negative reviews. Don’t think you will get all your bonuses either. They are struggling with cash. Most managers don’t care. They just want to collect their salaries and go home. No motivation. Just a dishonest HR/upper management. There are too many flaws for me to list all.

Pros

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Cons

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
