Pros: Great and strong team. Very solid hardware and software build. Founders have a very good vision.

Cons: Option risk is the only con I can think of.

Pros: Very welcoming people, nice office space for a startup. Free lunch was great, with moderately interesting work on the hardware side. Solid work-life balance. The founders seemed friendly enough when things were going well.

Cons: Got laid off with no notice, no time to transition, and after being reassured that the people come first. I don't really care about the company's fate, but I feel bad for the people I worked with who are now scrambling to pick up the pieces.

Pros: Driven people. Empathetic leadership.

Cons: Nuro is completely staffed with junior engineers. There are just a small sprinkle of senior engineers; the "senior engineers" that grew at Nuro are basically junior engineers with company know-how. This results in extremely bad processes. Data is fragmented across many systems. Nobody seems to care about documenting anything. Everything resides in somebody's head, and they pretty much refuse to write things down. Craftsmanship is clearly lacking. There is a lot of C++ fanaticism, and people are very gung-ho about writing good C++ code. But this is at the expense of ignoring any sort of quality for every other language (SQL, Python, JavaScript) and every other framework.
