Pluspunten

potentially huge market, but unproven business model. lots of moving parts, so lots ideas to get involved with

Minpunten

way to much politics for a company this size. cant tell if some of the management is really committed it. no team culture, not that exciting/fun as a work place, every dept doing their own thing. lots of opportunities, but also unfocused go to market.

While we do appreciate the input of past employees, we feel that there are some facts worth sharing. Our model has proven to be very successful as ChargePoint now has a 70% market share of public network charging. Every major auto company is in partnership with ChargePoint leveraging our network of drivers, our best-in-class charging stations, and of course our data. ChargePoint is the only EV charging company that has these partnerships with car makers. With the multiple tasks of building a company, helping define and create a whole new market and providing input to legislators all in the fast-paced world of Silicon Valley, ChargePoint has maintained an open casual environment with an open door policy to leadership. For a small startup, we are rather proud of our perks: free healthy food, gourmet coffee from Jura esspresso machines, pet friendly work environment, flexible telecommuting, paid cell phones, EV parking, free drinks, happy hours, free swag, and more.

Pluspunten

Unprofessional management and no work ethics

Minpunten

My experience, particularly within the accounting and teams, was very challenging. There is a heavy emphasis on offshoring work, often without proper planning or consideration for team stability. Employees are frequently expected to train offshore teams, after which responsibilities are gradually transitioned, creating uncertainty around job security. Leadership, especially in offshore coordination, lacks transparency and accountability. Communication is often unclear, and concerns raised by employees are not effectively addressed. This leads to a frustrating work environment with low trust in management. Work-life balance is extremely poor. Weekend work is common, particularly during quarter-end and year-end periods, and expectations are not well managed. While the company promotes an “unlimited PTO” policy, in practice it is difficult to take time off, and there is no payout upon departure, which may not align with employee expectations. There has also been noticeable turnover within the accounting team, with many experienced employees leaving, which further impacts team morale and continuity. Advice to Management: Improve transparency, address leadership gaps, and create a more realistic and sustainable workload for employees.
