    I’d stay away. Culture is terrible, CEO is an idiot. I’m genuinely surprised this guy was able to even run a company before. The company literally goes through people like nothing. Like when you join note who is there and see in 3 months if they are still there. Also all the titles are extremely inflated and will and Should not hold up, in legit companies.

      current CEO is non technical guy but a businessman. he is able to build relationships with government but not sure how capable to develop product, that’s one of my concern.

    My recommendation is to stay away if you have a competing offer. As one person said, Canoo is most certainly a sinking ship if things don't turn around soon. Culture is heavily dependent on what team you're on. But culture from the top is terrible. Leadership doesn't know anything about a car company and things are a mess. Canoo does pay well so that's a plus but that could always change quickly since it's still a pre-revenue company so cash burn is a real thing. Talent is leaving left and right and I'm pretty sure it will continue. If you've already accepted the offer and given your notice to your current employer, I'd recommend you look at this opportunity as a stepping stone to something else and keep your resume updated at all times ready to apply elsewhere. To be fair, I've had a good experience so far, but I don't see a light at the end of this tunnel.

    I have a good friend at the company. She likes it there. Although I keep hearing about people quitting. They lost a lot of the management and exec this past year. Personally, I think things are looking kinda sketchy with the company. I heard the comp is pretty decent though. What did they offer you?

      Unless I’m misremembering, my friend at Canoo said she gets OT for over 40 hours, and the company doesn’t like paying OT so her WLB is great. She’s paid hourly though I think.

      Here at Honda, I’m fully remote but the company pays OT for over 40 hours and is very respectful of WLB. I guess it’s a benefit when the company doesn’t abuse you with it. So yea, it depends

      That’s typical Japanese company in NA. Each group has one Japanese to support communication and take most OT. Just feel they move too slow
