EVOxCharge Inc.

Pros: The base salary for a Software Engineer in the EV charging sector isn't terrible for a startup. They do offer a 401k match, which is a solid plus.
Cons: Stock options aren't great; the valuation feels low. Health insurance premiums are pretty high for individual coverage, especially in the expensive San Francisco area. No performance bonuses makes it tough.
Advice to Management: Look at increasing the stock option pool and improving health insurance plans. It'd help attract and retain top talent in this competitive EV infrastructure market, especially for engineers.

Pros: The mission for electric vehicle charging is solid, and you feel like you're contributing to something important. As a Software Engineer, I got to work on cutting-edge EV infrastructure. People are passionate and genuinely smart in the San Francisco office.
Cons: The company culture can feel really disconnected, which is tough for a growing startup. Team building and social events are pretty rare, making it hard to feel like a cohesive unit. Management talks a good game about culture but often falls short on execution.
Advice to Management: Focus more on tangible team-building initiatives and less on just talking about 'culture'. For us Software Engineer roles and others, a more structured approach to collaboration could help. Invest in actual employee connection beyond just work tasks.
