Pros: I've learned a ton about software development here, especially for junior technical roles in the transportation tech space. The team is pretty solid, and you get to work on real EV infrastructure projects. It's a good spot to build foundational skills.
Cons: Upward mobility is tough past a certain point, particularly as a Software Engineer in the San Francisco office. There aren't many clear paths for promotion to senior roles. I don't see much investment in long-term career development or advanced training.
Advice to Management: Please make the promotion criteria more transparent for technical roles. Invest in programs to help employees grow into senior positions; it feels like we hit a ceiling too soon. Clarify what's needed to advance.

Pros: You get a decent amount of autonomy as a software engineer on your projects in the San Francisco office. It's an exciting mobility tech startup, so the work is interesting, and there's a good team vibe. We also have a solid hybrid work model which helps.
Cons: The workload can get really heavy, especially when product launches are nearing. It's not uncommon for engineers to put in 50+ hour weeks. Sometimes leadership doesn't push back enough on aggressive deadlines, which creates stress.
Advice to Management: Management needs to prioritize realistic project timelines more often. Protecting teams from burnout will improve morale and long-term productivity for this growing mobility tech company.
