Pros

ChargeLab builds software for managing EV chargers. Within the EV charging industry, they have a strong reputation as a high-quality player with advanced tech amidst a field of less polished competitors. Management has levelled up in the past year, and the company is now led by a very seasoned executive team. It would be hard to find another Series A startup with such a mature leadership team—ChargeLab has the most advanced exec team I've seen at this stage of company. The company holds high standards for work output. Managers and colleagues are collaborative, friendly, and supportive. I recently read some of the negative reviews for this company on Glassdoor, and they are quite misleading. Especially the ones about lack of vision, running out of money, or doing too many layoffs. Frankly, I expect these reviews are from disgruntled employees who were laid off. As an experienced exec, I can say that ChargeLab has a better cash position than 90% of Series A startups in 2024 and has down far fewer layoffs than the industry average. Folks who think there have been a lot of layoffs here have no benchmark for what has happened in the tech industry more broadly in the past 2 years.

Kontras

ChargeLab is definitely a startup. The people who work here care a lot and are constantly pushing each other to do their best work. This is a great work environment for folks who are looking to take their skill set to the next level and learn quickly. However, this is not the right place if you are looking for a more relaxed work environment with lower expectations.

Pros

Fast, paced start-up environment that really gives a lot of opportunity to learn on different sectors of the business. Work was mostly remote which did provide flexibility. Some amazing, talented, and heartfelt people are within the company who really do want you to succeed.

Kontras

Upper management does not seem to care about employees as anything beyond assets to be used and discarded as necessary. Repeated requests for additional assistance or resources are repeatedly denied or ignored or “we are working on it” for months at a time. They are slow, if ever, to provide promotions or raises, and instead will constantly make excuse to string employees on for months that a raise might be coming before denying it when they could be more honest and upfront. There is a constant feeling of restructuring which usually means a constant cycle of lay-offs as they pivot to a new strategy and then a round of new hiring as they replace those roles with something different, which does not give a sense of stability. Employees generally feel undervalued, underpaid, and overworked with management showing fake empathy while making no substantial or useful changes to fix the core problems.

Startup Growing Pains: As a rapidly growing company, some internal processes and tools are still evolving, but improvements are happening as the team scales. Heavy Workload: Like many startups, roles can be dynamic—requiring you to wear multiple hats and adapt to shifting priorities. The good news is, we’re actively building processes together as a team to create more balance and structure moving forward.
