Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Nobody competent was invited for discussion.
Testing was from a completely different area.
An arrogant and unfocused technician was on the other side. Testing was on bumper problematics, but I am a lighting engineer.

Great Place to Work
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer • Former Employee
February 3, 2021
Pros: Great place to work and grow for engineers who enjoy the lack of red tape and getting stuff done. The entire leadership is focused on fast innovation and results, so you will see most of your projects come to life and have a huge impact. A great place to learn by doing, but be warned: this is a trial by fire.
Cons: Upper management can have a high turnover rate, which means priorities can change constantly.
Opportunities for structured learning and training can be difficult to find.
Base salary and perks are not as competitive as other top companies in the valley; however, the RSUs will likely offset for that.
