Pros

The core team was great and we hit and managed to exceed hard to reach engineering targets

Cons

There was an earlier acquisition which brought to bear a lot of politics from across the pond. A lot of the earlier employees were forced out either through dishonest practices or straight out fired. This seems to be an example of acquisition that went wrong. Unfortunately work is at a standstill and it s frustrating to see ideas being bureaucrated to death.

Pros

Enel X Way was a fantastic company to work for, offering tremendous scope, integrity, and the freedom to explore and demonstrate your expertise. I gained invaluable knowledge from both the people and the organization, and truly appreciated the collaborative and innovative environment.

Cons

Due to uncertainty in the EV business landscape, Enel X Way ultimately shut down its operations. I truly wish the company had been able to sustain and grow, as it had strong potential and a talented team.

Pros

Offered great work/life balance and plenty of opportunity for employees to grow and develop.

Cons

We were a North American branch of Italy's largest company (Enel Group). The micromanaging from overseas and lack of control was very real and highly unproductive. Poor decisions made in Europe trickled down and when combined with a slowing EV market... ultimately led to our destruction.
