It has been a blast. Would want my friends to work here but wish we were paid more. It is seriously low.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Overall it is great! However, as we grow and grow, Sila has to become more competitive in terms of total compensation.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Vision both near term and short term

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Not sure. Pandemic has made it difficult

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Team members and others are not micromanaging you.

What makes you most happy at work?

Working with my colleagues/coworkers and talking about science/engineering

What are some of the best things about your team?

They're all fantastic. Really want to help and talk through hard engineering and science problems.

What are some of the best things about your team?

We have fun and are looking at ways to getting to the crux of the problem.

What makes you most happy at work?

Being able to work on cool and exciting problems that do not have a solution to them

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Low pay. Quantumscape pays Senior Scientist and Engineers a salary of 130-135k starting. Tesla pays 145k. We are somewhere around 100-110k. Quite below the market value.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Sila is lacking in terms of benefits and total compensation when you compare to other companies of similar size. Those other companies being ones that are working in the EV and EV adjacent space.
