Pros

- Working at Form truly feels like a once in a career opportunity, it combines the talent, ambition and the product to achieve something very special - A great culture that really encourages and rewards independent thinking and people that take initiative to solve problems

Cons

- The distributed nature of the company can impact the culture of togetherness, however a lot of work is done to encourage cross site/function communication

Pros

Working with Form Energy's groundbreaking battery technology is genuinely exciting and presents unique challenges to the workplace. While not every workplace is perfect, the atmosphere is generally cooperative, friendly, and inclusive, fostering collaboration and issue resolution. Compensation and benefits are decent plus snacks galore.

Cons

Form Energy grapples with a range of concerns. The high turnover rate reflects an unhealthy work environment. Employee well-being isn’t always a priority, leading to issues like a less-ideal work environment spilling into home life. Form is an extremely Liberal company that contradicts itself with the treatment of employees and core value alignment. Their core values of Humanity, Creativity, and Excellence are mere lip services, as dedicated efforts and countless overtime are unrecognized and unrewarded. Initially promised amazing benefits, pay, and flexible schedules, only to slowly strip them away. Decision-making is top-down, with no regard for employee input, creating segregation between different job titles. Funds are squandered on unnecessary expenses, while employees are overworked. Work-life balance is nonexistent. Form’s expedited push to get a product to market fails to embody its own stated value of Humanity by requiring overtime and sacrificing work-life balance. There is no job security, where you constantly feel like you’re walking on eggshells. Voicing concerns may have consequences and anonymous surveys are anything but. Despite claiming to be green, they neglect recycling and generate excessive waste. Form Energy appears to be embracing “Tesla Culture,” prioritizing profit and selfishness over employee well-being. With a surplus of managers and poor communication, the left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing.

Pros

I've enjoyed working at Form for about two years. The product is interesting, the work is exciting and challenging, and the company has an ambitious plan with enough money to accomplish their goals.

Cons

The tides are changing as Form becomes a household name. Lots of new management hires are implementing a stricter work regimen that values overworking employees more than keeping them happy. The values that they hold as paramount are now being sidestepped to save money and expedite to get the product to market faster. It went from pretty good work life balance to consistent 50+ hour weeks with no end in sight. The pay is below average. The facilities need a lot of work and feel outdated.
