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.

Advice to Management

More can be invested in understanding areas of employee satisfaction/dissatisfaction.
