12 hour shifts of pure chaos every day or night. The pay is ok, but could be better, and the benefits are good, but could be better. 

The communication is atrocious and things change by the hour. The only way to find things out is either via rumor or via doing it wrong and getting scolded. No one knows what's going on as the new lines get up, and the managers take their stress and confusion out on technicians. Instead of addressing issues with the specific people, everyone gets in trouble and watched like you're on big brother. You will randomly get placed in an area and if you can't handle it or it doesn't suit your skills/experience, your option is to quit. Everything is who you know, or who you're related to, or diversity factors. If you don't fit those categories, you will get the worst areas and the hardest jobs. Most of the managers aren't good managers. Everyone is cliquey and there's so much drama, it's a soap opera. It doesn't seem like much is actually thought out, everything is 'ready fire aim' when it should be 'ready aim fire' - reactive instead of proactive. 
 
Lazy people will get the same pay as the others who pick up the slack, so it's not fair. However, the $1 raise every 6 months is nice and the shift differential as well. Good opportunities for overtime. Most of the plant is now inside a clean room environment, so clean room suits and ppe is required at all times and provided.  But lacking in adequate storage space for everything and details/rules regarding that aren't communicated. It's hot and sweaty wearing the clean room suits. 

You will be working with Chinese vendors, be ready to learn via a translator app on your phone. The language barrier is rough, but meeting the Chinese and learning about China has been interesting.

You can expect to work on a new task everyday whether you finished your task from the day before or not, it is a start-up. No consistency. You get to learn the Li-Ion battery. Management is a good old buddy system from Nissan with a dictatorship approach. Got flooded with people from Tesla who brought their toxic mentality with them. What is missing from this company is management trust in employees and a team feeling. Zero ownership and alot of CYA documentation. 

Worked there for a couple of years and I can’t tell you how many times someone would promote, only to find out they were “friends” or had family in management the entire time. Easy to figure out when social media has pictures and posts before they started working there with these managers. Hard work and dedication doesn’t pay off and they will make promises they won’t keep.  If terms like “when in doubt, ship it out”, “it’s not my job” or “if you speak confidently enough, they’ll believe anything” are exciting to you, then you’ll fit right in. 

There is lack of leadership direction, communication and alignment. Some manager(s) are unstable, disrespectful, treat you poorly and shift blame on their employees for their lack of managing.  No work-life balance. You work evenings regularly (meetings from 9pm-12am) due to time zone difference with China counterparts. Do not recommend. 

Dropped like a unplanned pregnancy, 
Ran by cotton headed ninny muggins who can’t count never mind run a successful business. 
On a serious note management are full of bullies and have led to numerous amounts of long term sick.  

Only positive is the pay.

The job requires you to learn and adapt quickly, and constantly adjust your normal working patterns. The jobs are not hard so it is easy to proficient at what you do. Sadly, it is nearly impossible to move up.

Mission - "To solve the challenges for a sustainable future."   The company embodies this mission and is building the most advanced production facilities to support this mission.  

The work is easy, the hours are convenient and there is overtime for those that want the money. The easiest job I've ever had honestly. If you can come in and do your work and care just enough. You'll have a great experience here.

Good place to work. Pay is fair and all the opportunities to learn you could ask for. Cons the management has no communication and no clear goal in mind at least they don't share what the goal is. 

Room to grow in production and management as the company has recently announced  a new plant to be built.

Plenty to learn in regards to the future of quality batteries.

Bright future for EVs.
