Pros

Mgmt exceeds at putting a great team together.

Cons

Management consistently fails to incorporate individual contributor feedback on development timelines. Costly mistakes occurred despite alarms being raised, due to the founders' inner circle insulating them from the criticality or impact of certain failures. In turn, they are shielded from layoffs, while the individual contributors who raised the concerns are let go.

Advice to Management

Consumer Electronics /= Vehicle Engineering. Take cues from the staff who have this experience, and fix the deep issues that persist due to a select few incapable and egotistical managers (by firing them). Commit to the culture of safety you so publicly suppose to be, across all areas, not just SW.
