Pros: Incredibly talented team, hand-picked from around the world for their skill and experience, integrated into a strong team, working on a truly exciting vision. The level of knowledge and expertise in the team is inspiring and challenges you to up your game. You learn and grow more here in six months than in years at a traditional automotive OEM. The product development approach is different to a traditional OEM, as is the way in which the whole team works together for the benefit of the product. You have significant responsibility in your role and can really influence and shape the product. Free breakfast, snacks, and drinks, and in-work social events, help with the Silicon Valley feel. Pay and stock options are competitive.

Cons: The nature of the products and the short development timeframe mean the hours can be long. But when you're excited and fired up, the days fly by. With a smaller team compared to a typical OEM, you need to cover a much larger set of responsibilities, which can be daunting. However, you learn a diverse skill set very quickly.

Pros: Good team, learning opportunity, fast pace.

Cons: Long working hours, work-life balance.

Pros: Achieved tremendous results with a small dedicated engineering team compared to competitors. Everyone I worked with is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Free bottled water/beverages and a nice working environment. Startup-new computer and tooling.

Cons: Late-night food should be provided.
