Pros
- Many talented and innovative engineers to learn from/ work with (engineers who like to create, not just execute) - Great vision - The sub-level engineering teams are passionate and care a lot about the product that they work on (Which made working with them very fun and exciting!) - Free lunch and snacks (pre-covid)
Cons
- Leadership treats employees unfairly -"Elevates" people into new roles and responsibilities but refuses to compensate people accordingly. Taking advantage of people who are excited for career development. An example would be that you could be an engineer moved to management track, receive title change but no compensation change. - HR is truly incompetent, I have never met an HR team so incompetent before in my career. I am specifically talking about HR management. HR is fake, pretends to care and listen but does not deliver. All talk, no walk. Thats what I've found amongst the rest of SJ leadership team as well. I would've stayed at NIO for a long time because I truly believe in their vision but unfortunately I couldn't stand the disrespect from the SJ Leadership team any longer. From the managing director all the way down to team directors, everyone was a huge disappointment and in the last year I was consistently let down every step of the way.
