Pros: Competent coworkers, good place to work on robotics. People are friendly and management pushes to do the right thing.

Cons: Robotics is a difficult field; you will often face difficult problems. Lots of work to do, and development can take longer than expected.

Pros: Great Team Culture - Everyone at Nuro is working towards the same single product: a self-driving delivery robot. This leads to a great culture of collaboration and a lot of willingness to help out across team boundaries. Transparent Leadership Decisions - The higher-ups at Nuro are very good at communicating both what the company's overall goals are and why those particular goals were chosen.

Cons: A bit chaotic. Nuro is still a startup, and with this comes a lot of changes as the company grows. It is hard to set priorities for more than a few weeks at a time because something new is always cropping up.

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.
