Software Engineer • Current Employee
Sunnyvale, California, United States
December 14, 2020
Pros: - Amazing team that is really smart, from really great backgrounds (lots of Google/Waymo, as well as other top tech companies like Apple/Airbnb/etc.).
- Leadership is great, with strong transparency and a feedback loop.
- Fast-paced environment with lots of ownership - great for those who feel like Google/big tech is too slow-paced or not impactful enough.
Cons: A fast-paced environment can mean that on some days, WLB might not be the best. However, management is aware of that. For example, we got all of Thanksgiving week off, even though the whole week wasn't scheduled as a holiday.
