Nuro

The people here are amazing. A lot of the people I met at the company have become my good friends.

Everyone is very talented and hard-working as well.

Work-life balance is good if you allow it to be. You can fall into the trap of too much work if you sign up for too much.

Flexible PTO. Able to take time off without much/any resistance.

Transparency is relatively high between teams. Not too much bureaucracy and able to work cross-functionally pretty easily.

Although leadership seems a bit isolated from the rest of the teams for some reason.

Leadership sometimes seems lost, and direction/priorities are constantly changing. The new company strategy puts Nuro directly against Waymo/Cruise, losing the competitive advantage which existed with Nuro's commercial partners. Poor prioritization/planning for important milestones. Software/hardware mesh: there is poor collaboration between hardware/software organizations. There is even a physical wall between the buildings separating the teams. Each org tends to be frustrated with the other. The company feels like it is in survival mode instead of a high-growth company.

Figure out what is actually important instead of trying to do everything.
