Great engineering culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
December 2, 2025
Pros: Terrific engineering culture working on one of the hardest and most impactful engineering problems there is: driverless autonomous vehicles for mass deployment. Not much politics, streamlined decision making, and the ability to focus on solving problems with real scope and improving the system.
Cons: Work on non-autonomy teams may not quite realize the same scope, culture, or impact as those working on the critical path, and as a result have a harder time identifying with the company's vision or mission.
