ACMobility

Pros: I've learned a ton about software development here, especially for junior technical roles in the transportation tech space. The team is pretty solid, and you get to work on real EV infrastructure projects. It's a good spot to build foundational skills.
Cons: Upward mobility is tough past a certain point, particularly as a Software Engineer in the San Francisco office. There aren't many clear paths for promotion to senior roles. I don't see much investment in long-term career development or advanced training.
Advice to Management: Please make the promotion criteria more transparent for technical roles. Invest in programs to help employees grow into senior positions; it feels like we hit a ceiling too soon. Clarify what's needed to advance.

Pros: You learn a lot about the EV charging infrastructure, which is cool for a software engineer. The team is solid, and you get to work on relevant projects in the clean energy sector.
