Pros: Interesting tech - The technical domains are interesting to engineers, both on the autonomy and simulation sides. It's not a normal SAAS/software company; I feel like they're working on more challenging and interesting engineering problems. Smart & ambitious people - They hire many sharp overachievers, which creates a pretty fast-paced environment (also see cons). Good opportunity for career growth and taking on responsibilities - The company is growing so quickly, I've seen new hires quickly take on responsibilities and rise to leadership roles.

Cons: It’s a bit of a grind. Hours are long, and the learning curve can be steep, especially if you’re new to autonomy or simulation. The pace is pretty fast, so if you don’t have the time or inclination to keep up with the overachievers, it can be a lot of work. Still feels a bit like a startup figuring out the right way to address employee feedback and happiness.

Pros: Engineers have broad ownership and responsibility. Modern tech stack. Difficult challenges. Company is doing well.

Cons: Hours can be long if you don't self-regulate. Culture can be very team-dependent.

Pros: I joined as a new grad looking for a good opportunity to grow, and I've definitely managed to get that and then some. I remember being a bit surprised my first few weeks by the intensity and the pace. I was immediately put in a position of high trust and visibility, relied upon on Day 1, even though I truly knew nothing. It was an adjustment, but once I was able to internalize that culture, I've been continuously empowered to challenge myself and take on bigger and bigger projects where I would not have been able to elsewhere at this point in my career. I've also been able to grow my career across different axes. Even as a software engineer, I was able to build the muscle of a product manager and dictate the product vision of the team. I would go work directly with our customers, going out to different offices across the world whenever it was applicable. Those trips have also been some of the most memorable personal experiences I've had as well. All in all, it’s been an amazing place to kick off my career. Talking to my friends in tech, I realize that the pace is intense, but the growth, ownership, and exposure you get early on are unmatched. I've been consistently inspired by the people around me to keep improving. I would recommend working here if those aspects sound interesting to you.

Cons: You'll be spending a lot of time working. In my opinion, you get out more than you put in, but you are expected to put in a lot of time as well. Feedback could be delivered more tactfully and quickly. Different verticals of the company feel disjointed. I get to know the people immediately around me well, but across the larger org, it's more siloed.
