Avoid at all costs

Project manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cutting edge green tech, flexible wfh options

Cons

Incompetent upper management consisting almost entirely of long-haul "yes men" from the startup days. Middle management isn't much better. Delivery promises are made to customers by salesmen without consulting project teams, then PM's are scapegoated for failing to meet ridiculous delivery dates. Workplace culture is toxic. High turnover rates. Quality and safety take a back seat to revenue. Struggling to scale as the company grows. Allegations of insider trading among executives.

Pros

What they're trying to do is great.

Cons

They're not interested in being fiscally responsible, yet can't make a profit (the culture seems to step over a dollar to pick up a nickel). Mid-level Leadership doesn't communicate between departments. Entry management is good (in my experence). They're a 20 year old company that wants to behave like a startup. Oh, and insurance sucks too.
