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.

Pros: Great work-life balance, and I get to work with smart people.

Cons: Industry in general is suffering. Nothing too bad about the company.

Pros: Dynamic environment, always interesting projects. Smart people for the most part. Made a ton of friends.

Cons: Has become increasingly disorganized. Leadership is weak at all levels due to retention problems.
